Just acquired are these wonderful condition badges of a Sergeant Major of the 46th (South Devonshire) Regiment of Foot, consisting of his rank badge of a QVC over a set of double gold lace, 4-bar chevrons, his red backed gold lace embellished epaulettes and half a cap number.
Here is what I think, and would love to hear others who can back this up or correct it.
Double Lace Chevrons for Infantry stopped in 1868.
Shoulder Straps of Crimean War period.
Whole lot possibly dates from early 1850's to Late 1860's.

Simon, they are very nice items. Quality back in the day. It would be nice to see an Album with your badges ( cloth ) in.
