Indian Army - 10th Gurkha Rifles (Sic) Blackened Brass Cap Badge

This badge falls into the category of oddity / manufacturer's error. It was mistakenly made for the 10th Gurkha Rifles with the number 15 above crossed kukris when in India in the early 1930s due to an administrative error. Presumably never issued. In good condition with two original loops to the reverse.

See the Gurkha Museum Publication "Insignia of Gurkha Units in India and Burma up to 1948" (2016) p61 refers.
