Royal Warwickshire Regiment Musicians Large Cast Band Pouch Badge

A large and impressive badge nicely cast with flat back and with a stout pin fitting and c clasp, possibly a low grade of silver. The quality, whilst good overall, does suggest theatre made, possibly in India. Some polishing to the antelope otherwise the detail is good. VI below is a reference to the Regiment's pre1881 status as the 6th Regiment of Foot. Apparently worn on the large white leather band pouch, but the pin fitting has a look of a pagri about it, so I wonder whether the bank wore this on the foreign service helmet also. Circa 8cms tall. A scarce item. Any additional information welcome.
