Default Infantry Martingale or Horses Breastplate Badge

Hi all, I had shared this on the Face Book page and thought I'd share it here as well. It appears to be a mounted horse breastplate badge or Martingale for infantry. As it's generic, it can be for any mounted officer in a infantry regiment. It is heavy silver plate and my first piece of horse furniture.

Cheers,

Greg

Very nice Greg. They are usually cast brass and not plated .. but this is a nice example. I have seen another which had ; "Infantry Mounted Officer" on the garter in place of the motto and some regimental patterns. There is also a large variety of Cavalry worn items. An interesting diversion from headdress badges. Many thanks for sharing. Jeff
