The Derbyshire Regiment Cast Brass Pouch Badge
A cast brass badge with two long integral loops suggesting a pouch badge. Looks theatre made. Circa 4.7cms tall. It also has two central prongs centred on the reverse of the stag, which looks like it would be for retaining a cloth back backing. Has some age to it.
