Metal Detector Find - Georgian or William IV?
Good day
A local metal detectorist gave me this. I think it is either horse furniture or possibly a cross belt/pouch badge. The pale parts are what is left of the gilding so I'm assuming an officer's badge. I can't work out the cypher. DGLV perhaps. Any ideas? Duke of Something Something Volunteers?? Many thanks James |

OMG Tarabelle, I think you may have hit the nail on the head.
Duke of Gloucester's London Volunteers. How extraordinary to find it in a field in Lancashire. Many thanks for taking the time to find the article and for posting. |
