Description: | A nearly complete copper alloy head-dress ('cap') badge for The Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey), missing only its fastener. This particular style and metal make it likely that the badge dates to a new type introduced c. 1924, which was subsequently used during WWI and replaced by a plastic economy style in WWII. This type of regimental badge depicts the Paschal Lamb, which was altered to stand upon a torse instead of the original title-scroll, carrying a square banner with cross over its right shoulder. It is possible that this badge dates to a later version created for the beret in 1949, although its metal characteristics, weight, and style suggest an earlier date. These badges were manufactured using a mechanical stamping method. For further information regarding these types of badge, see: http://www.queensroyalsurreys.org.uk .
