Title '28th Bengal Infantry' coloured litho
Nationality British
Period c 1850

'R. Ackermann's Costumes of the Indian Army, No. 23'. An extremely rare print of a native regiment from the old Bengal Army, pre-Indian Mutiny period. During the Mutiny, this regiment mutinied at Shahjehanpore and was therefore removed from the Army List.

Damaged in several places and rebacked, with part of the lower title missing. Original colours still bright. Some evidence of dirt staining from age.

Buckle arrived this morning. Better than expected. Many thanks.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
