Rare Leicestershire Yeomanry White Metal Cap Badge

A rare white metal version with two original loops (E-W) to the reverse (one twisted but still functional). It was allegedly struck for the Coronation of George V. See the following URL for details:

Worn 1910 to 1915. This die was probably made especially for the Coronation and was used for the new gilding metal badge for the regiment afterwards. For the gilding metal version, which is also scarce to find, see my item 58060.
