Durham ( Light Infantry ) ( DLI ) Militia White Metal Other Rank's Victorian Glengarry Badge

A very scarce badge as worn by the militia, often mistakenly attributed to the volunteers, with three orginal dark toned lugs to the reverse. The badge is in good condition with sharp detail. The only fault is minor damage to the two of the little studs on the top of the orb of the crown (see photo). Circa 7cm tall and 4.8cm wide. Worn circa 1887 - 1896.
