Cavalry Badges
Hi All
A big thanks to Neil,Griff,Rob,Alan and Simon for your comments. Here is a closer version of the 2nd Scots Greys and 6th DG. (GREYS) lugs look like thin loops. 6th DG all windows are see through and sweat holes and crimp to slider. hope this will clear things up a bit more. Thanks Mike. |

Re the Greys badge. I think the flat loop fixings would IMO, indicate its of early manufacture pre WWI, possibly Edwardian/Victorian? I've seen these fixings on Shoulder titles and Collar dogs as well, in fact I had a 2D shoulder title once with them on. Happy hunting. Rob |

Excellent mate, never seen this type of lug before, but finding out it is before WW1 has made my day. Best Wishes Mike. |

Cavalry Badges
Thanks Rob
Learning everyday, to me the badge has great detail and all the feathers run smooth (not out of line) Some I have seen are all over the place, and the wing tips sit right were they should be. (seen them sitting on the L + R) Its that old gut feeling. At first I thought they might have been replaced, but if you have come across this before thats good enough for me. Thanks Again Mike. |

Hi Jack
Nice badge. I've got the griff on the spellings 'Lacesset' & 'Lacessit' according to Kipling & King's section on the Black Watch 'all types of badges can be found' with both spellings. Which is something I did not realise, there again Cavalry is my interest, but you learn something every day. Rob |
