Default Cloak Fasteners
Ive just had an email back from the HAC, and have been told that these "may be" HAC Infantry. Ive also had some info back from the National Army Museum, apparently a Major H G Parkyn reckons these are Grenadier Guards cloak fasteners circa 1880 he also reckons KK1108 is to the Grenadier Guards circa 1870 ? Anyway I've dipped these in some brick acid and they've come up quite nice.

Very nice!
As far as I'm aware - the HAC versions had concentric circles on each grenade.

I am inclined to agree as I am of the opinion the HAC would be identical to the Grenadier Guards.
