Hello all
Ive been told this is attributed to the DACORUM YEOMANRY CAVALRY TROOP HERTFORDSHIRE but I remain skeptical. Help is greatly appreciated |

I would think Dorset Yeomanry of some description would be more likely. sure someone will give you a positive id.

From Ripley and Darmanin
Hertfordshire Yeomanry, Dacorum Troop, 1831-36, but it was only a tentative ID? Rob |

Thank you. So, the question mark confused me at the end of your post.. Are you saying in fact it is associated with the Hertfordshire Yeomanry, Dacorum Troop, 1831-36? Many thanks in advance

Also, these buttons are adorned on this jacket which is cut in the style of the Napoleonic era

I'm quoting from a book by two of the most respected button authorities there are, at the time of printing it would have been their best guess based on the design, construction and any other data they had, the fact that the buttons are closed backed which you only showed in another thread makes me think its probably not early 1800s but later.

After a bit of research I was able to discover some new information. Although it’s widely known that the closed back coatee button wasn’t used until the 1820’s, the ball button however was used as early as 1800. Apparently these buttons were favored by the Light Dragoon’s and yeomanry regiments and not so much by the regular British army. Interesting to note that the enclosed image of one particular ball button was manufactured by I Nutting Covent Garden, a strictly pre 1815 back marked

This site has the Prince of Wales Plumes only used after 1860?
Rob PS my use of a question mark indicates I don't necessarily believe this to be true. http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/buttonsgtom.html#anchorg |

Roy's amazing album of early Militia buttons takes the POW plumes back at least to 1816 when the Local Militia was disbanded.
