The Sussex Yeomanry ( Dragoons ) Brass Cap Badge - Larger Pattern

A brass gilding metal cap badge with original slider. Circa 4.7cm tall. In good condition (slight twisting to crown). This is the large pattern as opposed to the smaller pattern listed at 58010 (K&K Vol 1 No 1479). The final photo compares the two patterns. Only the one on the right for sale here.

The central shield bears six martlets ( from the Arms of the Ancient Kingdom of the South Saxons ). Before 1908 ( as IY ) the badge was worn without the scroll.

This unit was 42nd in the order of precedence of yeomanry regiments. First raised in 1901.

K&K Vol 1 No 1480 refers.
