Default 17/21 Lancer Motto's

Hello Fella's,
Here is my small group of 17/21 singles, all collars I assume. The larger 2 measuring 22mm in height with smaller at 20mm in height. No creases in skull and no one appears to be winking, if that applies to collars. No maker marks.

The smaller silver piece gives the appearance of sterling but no marking to the such. Would the smaller brass version be considered a "stirrup" bone" ?

All input welcome. Best Jack

Nice collars

On the silver one..... look inside the back of the skull at the top..... see if there is a mark in there?

Griff, have looked and can see nothing, it is a bit tarnished in there but nothing jumping out at me.

Thanks
Jack

Jack

Its probably a plated collar then Its hard to know who the makers are...... I know what a Firmin looks like because I have an image of a HMd 1920. The loops tend to be hallmarked as well.
