Material: Brass
Size: 38mm w × 11mm h
Description: This artifact is an authentic British Army metal shoulder title worn by the historic Fife & Forfar Yeomanry (F&FY), a celebrated Scottish armoured regiment. Die-stamped from a single piece of high-tensile gilding metal, the insignia features the initials "F & FY" crisply voided within a prominent, continuous border box. This enclosed, "in-box" framework represents the distinct, late-era styling implemented by the unit prior to its mid-century amalgamation. The face retains a smooth finish from active-duty wear, while the reverse side is equipped with two unmarked brass fixing loops designed to accept a cotter pin to hold the badge firmly against the shoulder straps of a khaki service dress or battledress blouse.
Reverse: Flat back with soldered loops. Unmarked.
Circa: 1951-1956
Notes:
The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry (FFY) was an Armoured Yeomanry Regiment of the British Army formed in 1793. It saw action in the Second Boer War, the First World War and the Second World War. It amalgamated with the Scottish Horse to form the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse in 1956.
