I've been asked by an elderly widow whose husband served with the 48th. Highland Regt. of Canada to see what exactly she has and an idea of interest and value. From what I know of military items, I believe it to be Victorian era (Queen's Crown?) and a dress belt. I believe the regiment was raised during the Boer War, and this may well be from that period, but any more accurate information would be most welcome. Of interest are the attachment points for the shoulder straps. I've never seen ones that retract back into the belt, I assume for when the belt is worn on its own. As you can see from the pics, many many years of polishing have blurred the details of the buckle. As you will note, it also has the bayonet frog and the whole rig would benefit from some TLC.
