Copper alloy military badge. Openwork pressed metal, depicting lion and unicorn, the latter on a thistle, supporting the royal arms; a scroll beneath the unicorn retains the legend: [---] REGT; the rest is lost. The object is twisted.The motif may suggest this to relate to the service dress of one of the Royal Regiments, perhaps in the period before introduction of steel helmets. Peter Hart kindly comments: 'The Norfolk Yeomanry (The King's Own Royal Regiment). This is the only badge consisting of the Royal Arms that contains the word "Regiment" or "Reg". May be a collar badge' citing F. Wilkinson, Cavalry and Yeomanry Badges of the British Army, no. 191. Suggested date: Modern: 1902-1908.
