the third picture is to illustrate what the badge looks like when clean.

I'm going to go to the museum to see if they can date it for me and who knows donate it for their collect enjoy.

These two finds came from my new site high hopes for this one guys

The coin doesnt show the details when I took the photo not 2 bad.

I'm just putting together a display of capbadges for this years season at the local museum. I have found many in two dumps (its a mystery how so many different regiments got dumped in two places??). That one you have found is one I still need & I have over 100. WELL DONE
