Royal Leicestershire Regiment. Bi-metal cap badge

Retaining its maker marked slider on reverse, this with makers marks for 'Grove Mfg B'Ham'

Note: This large 'Tiger' badge is a private purchase, or privately sourced issue. The regiment was only granted the 'Royal' honour in 1949, by which time the War Department had already sanctioned that the hitherto 'large' regimental 'Tiger' badges worn by Other-Ranks be reduced in size by a quarter inch.....

A substantial badge of much better quality than generally encountered for OR's badges to this regiment

Condition: EF

Code: 21827
