I know what you mean normally a garter has an end hanging from the bottom of it etc. but I would suggest that the circle containing the Honi Soit... etc. might be classed as a garter in this instance?, or this is a variant? or the description isn't quite accurate?, which does happen.

Also, I think your breast plate device is use for 'Review Order' also there is I believe another 'Regimental' Breast plate device, which was used in 'Guard Order' (though this may just apply to the Life Guards). Household Cavalry Dress reg's, even for Horses, appear to be a bit of nightmare to understand, excuse the puns!

Tony might have a view on this or another member of the forum perhaps there's an ex HCMR Officer in our midst
