British Northamptonshire Regiment Cap Badge

The item for sale is an original cap badge of the Northamptonshire Regiment, a line infantry regiment of the British Army. This specific design features a bi-metal construction (brass/gilt and white metal) and includes several historic elements related to the regiment's service.

Condition of the badge itself is very good and it’s likely this didn’t get much use in its lifetime.

Please see my other adds for more military badges for sale.

Some details from google about the badge:
