10th Princess Mary's Own Gurkha Rifles Officer's Silver Plated Cap Badge

Sealed pattern dated 15 July 1970 describes the officer's felt hat badge as being silver plate with a rhodium finish. I believe this to be such an example. In very good condition, some tarnish to the finish but on the whole in lovely condition with two original silvered loops to the reverse. This was the pattern authorised for wear from 1955 - 1994.
