Can anyone attempt a dating ............ answers on a postcard please. No prizes for correct answers but it is NOT c. 1840!
The collar badges (after careful squinting) appear to have the long low silhouette of the Royal Tiger stood on a torse that was adopted by the 67th in 1878. Superb photos, vote of thanks to forum member, Voltigeur, for posting them.
