I wasn't aware of the Staffs Yeomanry being worn for such a long period, interesting. There are a lot of irregularities, harking back to Bosleys again they recently auctioned two 3rd VB Essex Regiment from the Hugh King collection, the earlier pre-South Africa honour badge was slidered and the later post-1905 version was lugged.
