Hi Martyn,
It is Valise Star worn by ORs pre-1857-1881 (Bennett 1102), a cast example with central bolt. These are not uncommon with a brass sleeve for attaching to the pack, cheers Dean

They followed a Guards tradition of Valise Stars like the DCLI, cheers Dean

They are most often seen as die struck gilding metal with a box section fitting to slide over the equipment straps but 4 loop and 2 loop examples are also seen. This is the first I have seen with such a bolt fitting. Cheers Dean
