Title Carte de visite, British captain, Queen's Own Corps of Guides
Nationality Indian
Period c 1890
Sold

Nice example of an officer (in number one uniform - see silver braid cap and bullion epaulettes) from a crack cavalry regiment (silver chains on leather crossbelt only worn by QOCG). The crossbelt does not sport pickers and chains, indicating an undress/combat scenario. (The attribution to QOCG is tentative.)
