!7th/21st Lancer Band
The attached may be of interest. Taken in Hyde Park at the Combined Cavalry OCA Parade. Not sure which year but I suspect it was the early days of the Band of the Royal Lancers which was the band that followed the amalgamation of the 3 Lancer Bands [9th/12, 16th/5th & 17th/21st] as the original band uniforms were still in use.

czapka plate
Interesting Thread
I see Dicks three plates the middle all brass one is one I have never seen did it come direct from Regiment?. I only ask as I restored a lot of kit for the Regiment and never saw an all brass one. Very interested in its origins Dick if you can shine some light on it please. Best Mac |

Brass Plate
Mac, sorry I do not know the heritage of the all brass plate and I've always been uncertain of it. I think I bought it quite some time ago from a stall at the War & Peace show at Belringe Kent.
I see from the above posts that GRIFFMJ also posted a picture of this type of plate and Slick Mick posted a picture of something looking very similar on behalf of 'Griff"? [if it is the same Griff the plates shown are not the same one in each pic.] I will be interested to see what can be uncovered.

The original glass fibre czapska's were supplied by Don Speake Ltd of Greenford in around 1982.
I was involved in manufacturing the replacement ones from 1993 for the band of the Royal Lancers via Firmin's, who did the metalwork, while I supplied the actual hats to another company who were subcontracted to Firmin. |
