        Frontier Force Regiment was a regiment of the Indian Army of the British Empire. I think these shoulder titles continued to be used after India became independent in 1947.

          Marc, thanks a lot, I really didn't thought about the RN one.
          I'm still at the Kassel Show and business is lousy.
          I really can't wait until the year is over.
          Lost some family Members in Summer and autumn, and on the way to the show, the generator of my Van told me that he isn't willing to play it's role any longer so I sat a whole day in the wilderness of thuringia to wait for a new one and get it installed. Lost a whole day to set up my booth.
          The only real nice time was in Scotland for Remembrance Weekend.

              The para lightweight has the earlier brow pad which adds somewhat to its value, but they can be got for as little as £20 (which I paid for one of those I have) and up to a few hundred for a minty early type with the original straps, which the one you show does not, so anywhere between £30 to £50 imo, but I assume someone else will tell you a different value, it is subjective, if it has dated labels, or shiny bolts...etc.

                There are people on the British badeg Forum who would almost certainly be happy to take the FFR badge off your hANDS.
