French Empire Cartouche Badge 62nd Regiment of the Line, a fine quality heavy pierced brass heart shaped cartouche badge, three pierced integral lugs to the rear; also marked on the reverse ‘T C’, max width 6.7cm x 7cm; the style and size suggest the period c1780-1820, some surface scoring otherwise very good condition

Note. The size and style of the numerals strongly suggest the French Army, although British units c1775-90 are recorded as having worn similar albeit somewhat smaller.
