Here is one of two British Army overseas hats in my collection. I am hoping someone here can tell me what time period its from and a little about the unit. Thanks,

The crown on the regimental badge sure looks to me like Queen Victoria's crown, so that would date it to the Victorian era. My guess would be turn of the century- 1900 era.

 

Gorgeous workmanship!

I seem to recall that the RGH continued to use the Victorian crown into modern times. A few British units did this out of traditions. The Royal Gloucestershire Hussars were an Armored unit in WW2, nice cap.
