Title 4th Hussars undress pouch badge
Nationality British
Period c 1903-48
Price £45.00

This is a bazaar casting of the badge of what could possibly be from a bandsman's pouch or perhaps an officer's undress pouch belt. The 4th Hussars were a prestigious British light cavalry regiment and no doubt this badge was cast in the bazaar to replace a British original which had been lost.

It is a good quality brass casting (nearly 8cm high) with three screw posts on the reverse. It has suffered some minor distortion, but is generally in excellent shape for its age.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)
