British India: Calcutta Police Force. White metal plated helmet badge. Kings Crown (1901-1949)

Dimension: 60mm (H)

The two part insignia complete with its original wide blade fitting, this for fitting to the cloth 'Pagri' of the Topee / Topi helmet

Interestingly the blade / slider fitting has been etched with a number '380' - and almost certainly a European Sergeants 'Warrant Number'

Note we have included an illustrative image in the listing to compare the variant badges of this force - and only the single 'large' cap badge is here offered for sale

It has been suggested that the 'larger' badges were worn by the personnel of the mounted police unit of the Calcutta Police Force

A scarce issue

Condition: GVF
