Charterhouse School Officer Training Corps (OTC) (Godalming, Surrey) Matched Pair of Facing Collar Badges

A facing pair of collar badges (as worn from 1908 - 1920) with two original loops and despite all being in a bronze finish one is clearly an overlay scroll of the Queen's West Surrey Regiment with braising holes to the reverse. Presumably a clever re-use of an existing Queen's West Surrey badge die. Same design as cap badge but smaller at circa 38mm wide and 30mm tall. In very good condition.read more
