I have no idea what they are, or what they are worth... but that is an eye catcher of a piece!!!

Blueman - you're doing very well at these auctions ! Please let me have a close-up of the silver hallmarks -

that will confirm the date. You have with these the Regimental officers' cross belt and the silver dress epaulettes.

Value wise - probably around 1500 to 2000 pounds - or, perhaps more. Check with a London auctioneer. Mervyn

p.s. The belt is in particularly fine condition and still has the prickers near the tip. These were for cleaning out the

touch hole on a firearm - and also for making a hole in the cardboard cartridge.
