theironduke1 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I think this must be a costume piece, Kevin ... I don't think it is military and I've never seen it before. However, I can always be wrong!!
Mervyn Mitton Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 No, I agree with you - a made-up piece. They were never in dyed felt - and since this is a Georgian Crown, it would never be in this condition. The other point is that the back of a Sabretache is usaully with a number of flapped pockets in the leather, in order to carry messages and despatches. Hope you didn't pay too much ?
servicepub Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 An interesting article on sabretaches. http://servicepub.wordpress.com/2014/09/25/the-sabretache-in-the-canadian-cavalry/
Stuart Bates Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Interesting that the cipher is VR, i.e. Queen Victoria, and the crown would also appear to be that of QV. I suspect that the Duke is correct in saying that it is a theatrical piece. Stuart
