75TH REGIMENT OF FOOT - THE STIRLINGSHIRE REGT. (GORDONS) BELL TOP SHAKO OFFICERS BADGE

Extremely rare badge circa 1840. Not even in K & K this one.
Circa 1840 for wear on the bell top shako.
Beautiful piece , the only issue being the original loop fixings are absent from the back although it's easy to see where they've been.
Die struck gilded brass star with silver star mounted in relief. On top of that in separately applied pieces are the Battle Honours , India and Seringapatam and in Roman numerals " LXXV " (75).Also a beautiful gilded tiger.
This is a piece I personally have never encountered before and don't expect to see another and therefore it's priced to reflect the rarity..
Replacing the loops if so desired is an easy fix.
Astounding piece !!
