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.)

I received the silver Verdienstkreuz this morning. Your swiftness and dedication was very much appreciated and, though the envelope arrived with a Post Office sticker saying it had been found open or damaged, the cross was unharmed and looks beautiful. Thanks for your time.
