I have always understood that the breast badge (martingale) was the same size as the bit boss. mrrossi states his profile badge is 7 inches long, considerably bigger. Am I in error? Could the left hand badge in your post possibly be the crupper badge? My 9th Lancer crupper badge is only 4 1/8 inches. Where else would an even bigger one be carried?

Best wishes

Gordon
