Becstar Posted 16 March , 2019 Share Posted 16 March , 2019 (edited) I found this yesterday at a thrift shop, along with some English badges. From a quick look on the internet it seems to be Prussian? I quite like it. Would it be WW1 issue or earlier? Thanks -Bec Edited 16 March , 2019 by Becstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 16 March , 2019 Share Posted 16 March , 2019 Isn't this a worn cap badge for the amalgamated 14th/20th Hussars (from 1922 onwards)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are correct. It was also used without slider, and in white metal, as the collar badge of the 14th (King’s) Hussars until 1914. The cap badge of the 14th was the same style eagle superimposed on an oval disc with the regimental title beneath: https://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/britishcavalry/14thhussarscapbadge.htm Edited 16 March , 2019 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becstar Posted 16 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 16 March , 2019 Oh wow, I was way off! That’s brilliant! So it’s post-WW1? I don’t know anything about the Hussars so it gives me reason to have a read about them. Thanks! 😀👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
