13th Hussars Belt with Buckle

[rusticalex]

For once I have identified an item myself...I must be improving!

However, if anyone has any idea of age of this item, I'd appreciate any pointers. Also, is it rare, and what sort of value might it have?

Thank you.

Looks like a modern item, not Brtish, & ndoes it actually read XXXVII (38) Hussars?

Indian? Pakistani? It seems out of place with the other Brit things you've been posting.

Arrgghhh...too many late nights on here is stopping me being able to read Roman numerals properly!! Thanks for spotting my mistake Leigh! You are right about it not fitting in with the other stuff I have - visually it does look more modern! Guess I'll see what anyone else might come up with!

Thanks

I'm not sure I'm doing too well either - I've never heard of Indian or Pakistan Hussars.

There is a possibilty of it being a fashion item.

I did a search on the 38th Hussars and came up with 6 items that lead nowhere except to this forum http://www.btshattereddawn.com/forums/index.php?topic=985.0

I am no gamer but I think the belt is merchandise from the game Shatterdawn by BattleTech.

It certainly looks new.

Hi - a much later addition! I have a very fine quality naval-style double breasted jacket with XXXVIII Hussars buttons in the same design. Needless to say, I haven't found any proper reference and so I was much intrigued by this item. I haven't even discovered any cosplay referring any gaming or fantasy media. Nor were there any labels or marks on the jacket.
