Default Interesting 17/21 Lot

An interesting 17/21 Lancer lot up for grabs on everyone's favourite auction site. I have no interest other than to know if this officer can be identified, and when he served.

Default bid

I gave it a good go I have most of the items so i wasn't going to be silly I put in £188.00. Hope its gone to a good home . I also hope it wasn't a forum member as I had put up an interest in it and I wouldn't have bid so high as as said I have most of the group.

Best Mac

£193 was all its money and then some, but I think who ever got it would have gone higher.

The Cap motto appears to be a Regimental copy of the earlier J&Co/Gaunt.... is it silver Mac?

I never got it mate it wasn't hallmarked. I had most things in the group so I wasn't going to chase it.

Default 17/21 Lancers Collection of items

Good afternoon

Yes, it did go to a Forum Member. And, yes it will have a very good home. Or rather one part of it will. I'm keeping only the small single collar.

The large cap motto is die-pressed unmarked silver with two long and very original silver loops. A nice thing. The S/Ts are nice and in good condition, as is the pair of gilt (?) collars, and the nameplate.

If anyone would like the rest, ie. the S/Ts, the pair of collars, the silver cap motto, and the name-plate, for a sensible sum, I'm more than happy to part with it all to a second happy home. No sensible offer will be refused. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Obviously, I'd rather sell it off in one Lot rather than split it any further.

Offered here first!

Regards

BB

Speaking on behalf of those of us who care, would you please post some photos of the hallmarked collar Motto and give us the makers mark and hallmarks so that we can record them.

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Phil.
