Another fascinating group of crests - thanks for sharing these again.
A friend of mine had a book with all sorts of cut-out information, signatures, quotes and so on including many Victorian military crests including several Indian Army ones but unfortunately I could not get her to part with it! Roger |

Thank you for posting your sheets with crests. They are very nice.
Crest collectors could buy sheets with crests from the publishers of the crest & monogram albums. Do you know if these crests were copies of the actual crests or have they been designed by the publishers? I do have a scrapbook made by someone working for a hotel in Evian (French Alps). It has many crests cut from actual letters but also crests supplied by crest book publishers. |

Very artistic and a good illustration of the Victorian art of crest design, and the ability to arrange the crest together in a pleasing manner.

Very interesting, thank you for posting. It seems a pity there is no publication showing all the regimental crests.

I have 4 or 5 crest albums, you could buy them as sheets, but they were also collected from the regimental letter heads, I think the hobby started with people making rubbings of the badges, then collecting the crests from letter heads, once it became popular sheets of crests were printed.
Attached a few pages from an interesting album I have, consisting of a mix of sketches, rubbings and printed crests. |

and the final one. All are presumed genuine, i.e. taken from envelopes.

Thank you everyone for posting. It seems a pity no one has published a full record.

Some magnificent crests have been posted, I am impressed. Here is my Scottish collection, some pages are grouped together for ease of scanning.
I cannot account for the the missing bits on some pages, this is how they came to me when I purchased them some years ago. Enjoy! Phil. |
