      The horse is an NCO's arm badge to the 5th (Princess Charlotte's Own) Dragoon Guards, not to be confused with the 3rd King's Own Hussars, which has a bushier tail.

      They are beautiful bayonets, here's mine by Alex Coppel. Matching number 156 on blade and scabbard. The scabbard is not painted but chemically blackened. It also has the Ch.A.W. marking which interferes a little with the popular opinion that these were made by Chromolit Anton Wingen.

      The badge shown in post #85 is a collar badge to the Suffolk Regiment in use from 1931. Illustration #381 in Colin Churchill's History of the British Army Collar badge.

      Ralph, The badge you show in post #2 may well be the crown for adding to a Helmet Plate Centre for wear on the glengarry. Have a look at the loops on the back, there should be 2 U shaped loops of the same kind that you should find on the back of the HPC in post 74. The two were worn together with a brass backing plate.
