Welsh. South Wales Borderers Victorian Officer’s 1897 hallmarked silver cap badge. A fine scarce die-stamped example bearing Birmingham hallmarks to obverse. Wreath of immortelles enclosing the Sphinx on ‘Egypt’ tablet; the letters ‘SWB’ across the base. Two original copper loops to reverse. Minor service wear, generally VGC. Wreath of immortelles ordered to be borne on the staff of the Queen’s Colour of both battalions to commemorate the devoted gallantry of Lieutenants Melville and Coghill in saving the Colour from the Zulu enemy after the Battle of Isandhlwana and as her tribute to the gallant Defence of Rorke’s Drift.
