Mervyn Mitton Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Kevin - the leather sabretache is of a pattern usually for staff officers - and not attached to a Regiment. You will find that the back opens and it has puches for despatches, notes etc.. I have had a quick look for the 7th. - I thought Hussars but , it doesn't match. Perhaps someone else will have an idea ? Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Is it the British 7th whatever? Hard to say from the size of the photo., but the crown looks a bit odd to me. French or Spanish perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Peter - at 400 mag. the Crown looks like an early Georgian - the side are straight, rather then the curved ones from the later part of the 18th C. There is of course a chance that it is foreign - Kevin must tell us about the buttons - again the details are not clear. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Clark Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 7th is a french napoleonic chassuers a cheval, but is a theatre or reenactment copy. Lace looks to be modern granby pattern and the fringe ouround the outside looks like a mylar thread rather than a proper metal thread or bullion drop you'd see on the originals.

Mervyn Mitton Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Andrew - welcome to GMIC. Thankyou for the identification which was giving a problem. You have been of great help for this and the other post on belt plates. Are you a collector of these items ? I hope you will be able to post some good items from your own collection ?
