Tiger Badge

The Tiger Badge was awarded to experienced climbing porters by the Himalayan Club so that "the better Sherpas should be in some way distinguished and rewarded by higher rates of pay". Each bronze badge displays a Tiger’s head in relief with a peak in the background, the legend around the edge reads "Himalayan Club", on the reverse the porter's name and Himalayan Club Number are engraved.
