You lucky man. My grandfather's regiment. Very scarce I think. I have wondered if 1LG had something similar but have not seen such. Regards, Paul.

Good to see. Do you think the badge was an officers with blades originally?
The button locket is also nice to see-and the shoulder titles as a pair are very fine. Regards, Paul. |

Very nice, George Bixley was very much the volunteer who had enlisted for the duration, a warehouseman from Peckham, I wonder why he chose the Household Cavalry, I dare say the uniform had been a familiar sight and had made an impression upon him as a boy.

It does appear to be die cast and broached at some point, I would think an OSD example.
