Northamptonshire Regiment (c.1924-26 Manufacture) Officer’s Service Dress Collar Badge, By J. R. Gaunt, Late Jennens

A scarce and original collar badge of the Northamptonshire Regiment. This pattern was introduced following the Childers Reforms, which amalgamated the 48th and 58th Regiments of Foot into the newly formed Northamptonshire Regiment. Struck in bimetal, the badge features a St. George’s Cross and horseshoe in white metal, within a circlet which reads “Northamptonshire Regt”, surrounded by the laurel wreath and surmounted by the Imperial Crown. This design was worn as a collar badge by other ranks on the service dress and walking-out uniforms throughout the first half of the 20th century. Marked on the reverse: J. R. Gaunt, London/Late Jennens”

The reverse retains its original brass lugs, correctly positioned for collar mounting.
