Title 1st Hyderabad Lancers waist belt buckle
Nationality Indian
Period c 1914
Sold

This is a senior NCO's/officer's buckle of the Hyderabad State Cavalry, raised by the Nizam of Hyderabad for service in the Great War. They served in Egypt and the Suez Canal defences from 1914 onwards as an Imperial Service Troop contribution from the Indian princes.

Its condition is generally good, with some wear to the EPNS finish (on base metal), commensurate with its age.

Just to let you know that the bayonets arrived safely this morning and I am extremely happy! They are everything that I had hoped they would be, but better! I am extremely pleased that i purchased them from you. The 1867 Albini ... is an absolute beauty, the blade is immaculate. The other is in fact in far better condition that I had imagined as well. So all in all, I couldn't be happier! Many thanks Chris.

I very much look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.
