Default Cavalry State Bit Furniture

A different type of badge than cap ones, but I thought some may find it interesting. This is a collection of the badges that are on the horses state bits (state bits are the items that go in the horses mouth). These are used for ceremonial parades, usually Trooping the Colour.
The top 3 are Household Cavalry: Life Guards Officer, ORs, Blues and Royals Officer.
The next 5 are: Grenadiers Gds, Coldstream Gds, Sots Gds, Irish Gds, Welsh Gds. Used by the Regiments Colonel and by the Royalty.
Last is an RLC one, created for, I believe, for when the Deputy Chief of Staff was an RLC Officer, but I could be wrong.
There is also a Mounted Infantry Officer one, which I also now have.
I believe this is the only complete set in existence.
