Malay Regiment Fire Gilt Officers Cap Badge, adopted 1933

A stunning example, die cast on two original loops. Circa 40mm tall by 27mm wide. Slight twisting to loops and a few small marks to the gilt finish otherwise in excellent condition. Scarce.

This was a two battalion force which fought well in the doomed defence of Singapore. After Japan's defeat it was revived and by the time of Independence in 1957 was seven battalions strong.
