Help requested...
I have had the badge shown for many years now, but I have as yet been unable to determine it's origin : my thought is that it may be a cartridge-pouch badge from a French Napoleonic light infantryman....the badge appears to be cast rather than stamped, so I am assuming it is older than the ACW. Any thoughts or opinions would be welcome. Thanks, Iain.
Re: Help requested...
It certainly does look like one and that would be my best guess as well. I'll try to find my photos from Les Invalides to see if I can find a match...

If that is what it turns out to be it's a rather lovely thing to have.

It's the St Tropez Yard of Wine Club members' badge.

Why do they loop over their yard, and surely it is a metre?
