An extremely rare shoulder belt plate believed to be to the 3rd Bombay Native Infantry
$3,800

An extremely rare shoulder belt plate believed to be to the 3rd Bombay Native Infantry. A shako to this Regiment was sold by Bonhams 22 November 2023 described as an 1829 Pattern with the plate showing the Battle Honours of both Buxar & Guzeratt both being present on this plate. In the Noonan’s sale 7 Dec 2022 lot 718 they show an 1833 dated plate which would suggest it postdates this plate (hammer price 2000 pounds). A few minor spots to the gilt but retaining almost all gilt finish.

A Very Rare centre piece of a bell top shako/ forage cap badge for the 90th PERTHSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY.
$2,750
A Very Rare centre piece of a bell top shako/ forage cap badge for the 90th PERTHSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY.
Sold with a period accompanying notation “Shako Badge of Henry Ashmore Evatt 90th L.I.”. The rear of the badge has all the tell-tale fittings which suggest that it is off the next pattern shoulder belt plate mentioned but not illustrated by Parkyn. However, I believe its sheer size (70mm) makes this unlikely and leans towards the centre piece of a HP. There is a well-known photo by Fenton of seven 90th Officers in the Crimea all showing similar badges on their high front forage caps shown above.

Very Good condition and very rare $2750
