Title 7th Foot (Royal Fusiliers) officer's shoulder belt plate
Nationality British
Period c 1850
Sold

Magnificent example of a rare sized and shaped SBP. To my knowledge, only two other regiments share this large rococo design. This plate was in use from about 1845 to 1855. The fire gilding is 100% intact, as is the blue enamel. One of the most desirable of all the mid-Victorian officers' SBPs.

I received the item today, you had packed it well and there were no problems with customs. Overall I was happy with it although the blade was a little bit worse than I had imagined, however thank you for your efforts.

Just a short note to let you know that I have collected the Police fur cap this morning from the Post Office. I am really happy with it, and for sure I will give a thumbs-up to your service. This was the first item I ever bought from you, and I hope it will not be the last.
