Early Burma Burmese Police Badge, pre 1901

A QVC brass British made die struck two part construction cap badge with both original loops to the reverse. Apparently worn from 1885 until replaced by a different pattern on the death of Queen Victoria (see item listed below). Possibly painted black as some point which has oxidised brown which makes it look a tad grubby and the finish is pitted, but nevertheless, a rare item.

Renfrew et al Vol 1 No 1040 refers.
