Title 108th (Madras Infantry) Regiment of Foot glengarry badge
Nationality British
Period c 1874-81
Sold

This is an old East India Co. regiment, which started life in 1854 and progressed through several changes of title from the 3rd Madras Infantry to the 108th, becoming the 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in 1881. As with most of these old EIC regiments, the bulk of the other ranks were Irishmen.

This is a die-struck brass badge, with one original brass lug and one copper replacement one. The condition is excellent for its age with relatively little wear and tear.

testimonials

Many many many thanks about [for] your dagger! Very fine quality! I love it!

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
