East Kent Yeomanry - A late Georgian / Early Victorian large undress two part silver plated Officer's Sabretache / Shako badge c. 1820 - 1840

A large undress two part silver plated Officer's Sabretache badge of East Kent Yeomanry c. 1820 - 1840, this pattern could equally have been worn on the bell top shako. Sadly there is some damage (which I have drawn in with a pencil): a section of the ‘Invicta’ scroll is missing and one of the forelegs is broken and absent. There is a separate large and matching St. Edward’s crown with identical loop fittings to the other part. which is in good condition. The main horse section including scroll is circa 13.5cm tall. Historically important and rare.

Code: 59648Price: 225.00 GBP

East Kent Yeomanry - A late Georgian / Early Victorian Period 2 Part Silver Plated Officer's Pouch Ornament Badge, c1820 - 1840

An undress two part silver plated officer's pouch badge of the East Kent Yeomanry c.1820 - 1840 depicting a rearing horse with scroll below "INVICTA" together with a matching small St. Edward’s crown badge above, which is sadly missing its top orb section. Both have traces of black patent paint to reverse and both pieces have thin matching loop fixings. Whilst the case could be made for the West Kent Yeomanry as well as belonging to an officer of the East Kent Yeomanry, from regimental Spode china piece dating to the 1830s examined from this period, the badge is similar to that borne on the china for the East Kent Yeomanry. The main horse section is circa 6.2cm tall. Rare.
