A die struck gilding metal cap badge with two original loops to the reverse. Some severe polishing of central detail and highpoints as one would expect from a former smart soldier! Kings' crown so pre 1952. Circa 44mm tall. Despite condition, a very rare badge to this military orientated civilian organisation.The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) is a British independent think tank focused on defence and security.
