Westmorland & Cumberland Yeomanry Other Ranks Gilding Metal Cap Badge

An original and attractive gilt washed brass cap badge with original slider to reverse. A good stiff badge, nicely domed with sharp detail and in very good condition. The design is three sprigs of heather within an oval band surrounded by laurel wreaths with a king 's crown above. This pattern discarded in the early 1920s when the unit adopted the Royal Artillery cap badge.

This unit was 17th in the order of precedence of yeomanry regiments. First raised in 1830.
