alanmackie Posted 15 January , 2011 Share Posted 15 January , 2011 Hello It looks like a 1914 Infantrycap badge, see link. http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/shop/british-militaria/infantry-cap-badges/cap-badge-to-the-cheshire-regiment-536614.html Dental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max7474 Posted 15 January , 2011 Share Posted 15 January , 2011 It is the pre1922 pattern Cap badge of the Cheshire regt. The lugs (copper rings on back) suggests that is is pre-1914 and possibly a decade earlier than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 15 January , 2011 Share Posted 15 January , 2011 Hi Sven, Yes, definitely a pre 1914 cap badge with lugs rather than slider and could be nearer 1900. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGSMILE Posted 16 January , 2011 Share Posted 16 January , 2011 Some 'old soldiers' of the BEF would still have been wearing this pattern of badge in 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
133.R Posted 16 January , 2011 Author Share Posted 16 January , 2011 Thank you to everyone for the help. Then it was not wrong to buy it. Best Regards Sven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
