Original British Army Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry (DCLI) ORs White Metal Cap Badge – WWI / WWII Era

An original Other Ranks (ORs) die-stamped white metal (cupronickel) example featuring the traditional Light Infantry strung bugle horn, surmounted by the Ducal Coronet of the Prince of Wales and a scroll inscribed "CORNWALL".

The DCLI was formed in 1881 and served with distinction throughout both World Wars before amalgamating in 1959 (its lineage is carried on today by The Rifles).

This slider-back pattern replaced the earlier two-lug design around 1908.

Very good vintage condition.

Crisp detail to the front with honest age-related patina.

The original brass slider is straight, firmly attached, and shows typical period manufacturing striations.
