In Need of Info on Victorian Household Cavalry? Horse Brass
I am British and ex-RE but now live in the US. where I recently bought this clearly-military Victorian horse-brass insignia still riveted to its original leather backing.
I was given to understand that it is Household Cavalry horse furniture, and wondered if anyone can confirm that or, if it isn't, what unit it may have belonged to? I know it must date between 1837 and 1901, but can anyone give me a tighter window..? Badge is 3 3/4" high by 2" wide and is executed in high relief, the central escutcheon being about 1/2" thick. Because the badge is riveted, I can't access the back for maker's name etc. Thank you in advance. |

Victorian Household Cavalry?
I have an identical piece of horse furniture but unfortunately some poor soul cut the strap off and substituted it for two tacks and a piece of string which has spoilt the item IMO.

Hi Rickmcm
I believe that this is a general pattern horse breast plate. have a look at the Quartermasters Store, Mike has one at his number 54007, its the same as yours except that its not on the leather, his is a horse bit boss. Good luck Phil. |
