10th Royal Hussars / Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry Matched Pair of Officer's OSD Bronze Collar Badges
A superb pair, die cast in bronze and of some considerable quality, with two original loops to the reverse of each. 10th Hussars or Wiltshire Yeomanry the 'possibles', but other units you may well advise me of may also have worn these generic Prince of Wales's plumes. Circa 3cms tall.
