    Bugle Horn Stringed Cap Badge

    I have a cap badge, 2"x2", in white metal -- a bugle horn stringed, with,
    in the middle, the initials "SR." Anyone know what regiment this is?

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    There were/are MANY Britishicon light infantry regiments with a bugle horn badge and theSH should be a clue to anyone but it might be a part of the inscription. Can we see it.

    If you have one with KSLI above the bugle, then revere it. It is my family County Regiment. The Kings Shropshire Light Infantry

    SR = Scottish Rifles?

    Any other interpretations (OK, it was a guess!)?

    The Scottish Rifles had a mullet (star) and a spray of thistles + the bugle; no
    initials.

    Yes, I have a KSLI...also HLI, DLI, Cameronians, D of Cornwall's, Ox & Bucks,
    RB, etc....

    Unfortunately, my camera is hors de combat. The "SR" is definitely not part
    of an inscription.

    Just 1st Bn Scottish Rifles = Cameronians

    Correct, but if you gor here:
    http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/fo...howtopic=58681

    you will see that it is a bit more complicated. Looks like the Cameronians were, at one time, just one battalion of the Scottish RIfles, and the other battalions were Scottish Rifles, not Cameronians.

    Is your badge one of these?

    Yes! My badge is exactly like the ebay badge pictured. (I'm astonished that it
    seems to be worth so much money.) Thanks for that and for the historical
    summary. There are a few questions left by the latter, but, now that you've
    put me on the right track, I can write the Regimental Museum and clear those
    up.
