Type 24 Other Ranks Badge
This badge has a pattern of sweat holes which would suggest a particular makers variation (although the maker is not known). Two oval sweat holes can be found to the rear of the Coronet and a larger circular sweat hole to the rear of the Rose.
It is believed this is one of the earliest York and Lancaster badge to be fitted with a shorter slider and would date it to between 1906 and 1918 when this pattern of sweat holes went out of use.
