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.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
