Title 60th King's Royal Rifle Corps officer's crossbelt plate
Nationality British
Period c 1865-1881
Sold

This is an unmarked silver example, complete with its original four retaining nuts.This regiment started life as the 'Royal American Regiment' at the end of the Revolutionary War. It was worn on a black leather crossbelt, together with a whistle and chain. A leather pouch, mounted with a silver bugle, was attached to this arrangement.

On the reverse, some minor damage has occurred over time from silver testing or the like, but generally speaking it is in exellent shape for its age.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
