peter monahan Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think there needs to be a little more information first. Is it a cap, shoulder, or pouch Badge? A shot of the back and some dimensions might help answer that. Any historey at all on wher it might have come from? Even the experts need a starting point!

Mervyn Mitton Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 From their appearance, these are most probably horse brasses for Cavalry - pre-1901. Many units had these on the harness during the Boer War. They are intended to go on the centre of the horses's chest and have the various leather straps behind them. To be absolutely certain you need to confirm that they are of thick brass and heavy ? Value wise - about 50 pounds ($80). Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
