Victorian Regimental Number: 9

Original Item: Released years ago in a British Government sale, we have found a case of original metal Regimental Numbers 7/8" tall for wearing on uniforms and for attaching to all types of equipment.

The Victorian military was Regiment oriented: sons followed fathers into "The Regiment", even famous old names were rarely used and a Regiment was affectionately referred to as "The Old 45^th". Remember Errol Flynn in "The Charge of the Light Brigade"?

The Military was, however, a little different from today and one regiment was not above permanently borrowing material from another, so it became customary to number just about everything with a Regimental number: cartridge boxes, slings, packs, saddles, you name it.

We now offer original nickel plated brass Regimental numbers for you to dress up your equipment. Each number has either a double eye fitting on rear for you to secure with a split-pin or stitch, or posts (our choice, or "Special Select" for your choice). Numbers 0-9 available; this is number 9.
