The Sherwood Foresters (Derbyshire Regiment) (45th & 95th Foot) QVC Victorian Other Ranks Bi-Metal Cap Badge

Die struck example on original toned loops. As worn until 1902 when the badge was corrected to include Nottinghamshire. I have encountered other Victorian issues and the reverse detail was not sharp on these either but this is a genuine example.
