Hi Pete,

Not sure how old it is, he bought it recently as he remembers our father wearing one similar when he younger.

Many thanks to both for your replies.

Bit odd....

I would expect a crown above the lyre on a British military uniform....
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
