Thanks very much for the replys guys.I guess I can't narrow the time period down for most of these.Even the 2nd Battalion marked cane could be from just about any era.I think I'll be keeping the Kings crown and 2nd Battalion canes and selling on the other two.While on the subject though,is there any real difference between the canes already shown with the 'thimble'shaped top,and the canes with the 'ball'shaped tops, eg time period.Or was it just a matter of preference?Heres some pics of the type I mean plus some more period pics of the canes being carried for walking out,thanks again, Paul

Has no one any ideas on this one guys? I guess the first one could be anywhere between 1902-1952 but the others have me stumped!Cheers, Paul

Gents,I recently picked up these four swagger sticks of the Worcestershire Regiment with a view to using one with a display of items from that Regiment.They appear to be from different periods of the Regiments history and I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out as to dating each stick.Any help you can give will be appreciated,cheers, Paul

You're welcome Mervyn,I couldn't make out the date but it looks like its seen a fair bit of service,cheers, Paul

Hi Jef,the snake buckle belts were traditionally worn by British Rifle Regiments since the Napoleonic wars.The belts were black leather and the buckles brass or white metal.I have a few pics from the Royal Green Jackets museum at Winchester you might find interesting,not the best quality though I'm afraid.I also picked up a a snake buckle belt recently to display with a KRRC tunic I have.You can see by the pics that it is almost identical to the belts shown in the RGJ museum,however,the belt is marked with what looks like police collar numbers and has an 'MP' stamp so I believe this to be a old Metropolitan Police belt from Greenwich Division,I hope this is of some interest,all the best, Paul First pic is of a KRRC Sargeants tunic from before WW1
