The Royal Horse Artillery still exist today. In the 16th and 17th centuries they were the fastest moving mobile artillery of the British Army. They wore spectacular uniforms which even today attract the undivided attention of the fairer sex. Of course one needs the body to go with it which only confirms the old question of \"Why is youth wasted on the young\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis uniform set consists of a short jacket in dark navy blue completely covered in yellow piping and a mass of Royal Horse Artillery ball buttons down the front. The yellow piping continues to the rear of the jacket. Matching blue red double stripe high-waisted coveralls and best of all, the regimental Busby Helmet constructed from sheared bear skin. The Helmets top and bag on the right side are bright red to match the tunic's collar. There is a large Royal Horse Artillery badge with a plume coming from the tip. The helmet also sports a double tiered white horsehair plume to the front and the helmet no longer retains its long yellow \"cap cords\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helmet is in good overall shape though there is loss to the fur along the top edge. The interior shows that the lining is a bit torn, but the maker’s mark is still clear:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLandon, Morland \u0026amp; Landon,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Burlington Street,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegent Street\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLondon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chinstrap is retained and unbroken, rare to see.
