4th, 5th, 6th and 7th (Territorial) Battalions Essex Regiment Bi-Metal Cap Badge with South Africa Scroll
A good worn example with scroll "South Africa 1900 - 02" below, two original loops and three sweat/ braising/ expansion holes to the reverse. Blank seeded tablet below the sphinx. The white metal overlays appear to have been silver plated. Most probably an officer's cap badge. A cracker!
