QOH HM NCO's Arm Badge

A hallmarked silver arm badge for a non-commissioned officer of The Queen's Own Hussars with all four pin fastenings intact (only two clutches remain in place) and a red felt backing. Linaker & Dine 21.1B.

The reverse is marked LB&B Co for manufacturer The London Badge & Button Company, Birmingham, sterling silver and the year 1988 (I think!). It also carries the number 129.

Note: David Linaker & Gordon Dine, in their book on Cavalry Warrant Officers' And Non-Commissioned Officers' Arm Badges, say this silver version was introduced around 1984 and was individually numbered.
