Looking at some photos,OR`s are wearing a white belt with the standard flat plate fitting with a collar sized badge.This is in No1 dress blues.
The Musician in red tunic is wearing a white belt with a circular locket type fitting.What is on the locket cant be seen clearly.

hello,
OR,s white belt on no1 dress blues-flat brass with chromed thistle in centre fitted on with split pin.
OR,s sword belt for full dress 'scarlets' -flat brass with anodised eagles head facing right collar badge.
Band wore the belt with round clasp type buckle as described in thread before this one, also not sure what was onit, may have been royal arms?
pipes and drums 'drummers', as no1 blues

I hope this helps

Great !

2 other questions:
what about the pouch worn with "scarlet" full dress ? It seems to be similar to the Household Cavalry one with Scots DG pouch badge.

Bearskin: left side a grenade with white feather hackle (red for buglers ?) and back horse badge. Same as Scots Greys or new ones ?
