Title Lancashire Hussars cap badge, 1896 pattern
Nationality British
Period c 1914-20s
Sold

This die-struck gilding metal badge would have been worn on both the full dress caps of the regiment and also on the khaki gor-blimey caps of WW1. The regiment was converted to artillery after WW1, as were most of the yeomanry regiments, at which point they would have sported the ordinary gunners badge, I suspect.

Its condition is nice and clean, with no heavy polishing or abuse.

Excellent information, Chris, you've been making a big effort! I will spell it out more closely (I'm a historian!) and don't think Bezdek can add much more.
