!7th Lancers Motto
Gentlemen
Going back to the begining re the Brass 17th Lancers Motto, please see my previous posts re 17 L Mottos.
The motto looks good to me, with the exception of its colour, I have 2 very dark brass mottos with sliders, the sliders have a slight taper about 42 mm long. Both Mottos have "ears" like the pre 1900 Mottos with lugs. The motto shown has the ears and a slider, I'm sorry I still have not worked out how to post photos but from my knowledge of 17 L Mottos its ok apart from the colour which looks more like Wm than brass in the photos and the problem may be in the photo rather than the Motto.
Also I have never seen a brass Motto with lugs, the only lugged Mottos are Wm in both Cap and Field Service Cap size, ie about 39 mm and 30mm top to bottom
I hope that this helps
