17th Lancers Undress only ever had the skull. I have been told by those in the know that they were made up for the American market (Rock Island ect ect) hope that helps Tony.

A QRL bimetal arm badge - fake, I think?
Three layers of teeth on this? I'm not sure.

Default Arm Motto

Its Fake Leigh I have told countless dealers and mentioned it on here from time to time it was presented to QRL as a possible option and rejected the few that were made ended up on toast racks in the Sgts Mess one or two got out of the Regiments hands and the rest is history to the fake makers.

Hi Guys

The Skull & Bones on my sabretache is die cast white metal (Ive had it checked by a jeweller), it has 2 screw posts one behind the skull and one behind the bones. both have a small washer and nut to secure it. It is quite heavy.

I hope that this helps.

Regards Phil.
