The Sherwood Foresters (Derbyshire Regiment) (45th & 95th Foot) QVC Victorian Other Ranks Bi-Metal Cap Badge

The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) (42nd & 73rd Foot) - Victorian Issue Lacesset Spelling

A very pleasing die struck white metal badge with two original loops to the reverse (some service wera and bending to these). Victorian crown and sharp detail.

Highland Light Infantry (HLI) Other Ranks White Metal Glengarry Cap Badge - Long Scroll Pattern

A die struck cap badge, not properly cut out on bottom section of the cross arms. Two original D style loops to the reverse.

There are a number of variations found with and without die flaws.
