Title Sharpshooters officer's collar dog
Nationality British
Period 20th century
Sold

Their full title from 1901-14 was the 3rd County of London (Sharpshooters) Imperial Yeomanry. This was the collar badge until 1961, when it amalgamated with the Kent Yeomanry and a different badge came into being. They were mounted troops from 1914-18, but also served as dismounted infantry at Gallipoli, and in WW2 as a light tank regiment.

This badge appears to be in unhallmarked die-struck silver. Its condition is clean and sharp, with no apparent damage, just a little wear from service use.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
