Waterloo Period Colour Sergeant's sleeve insignia
British Medals & Militaria
DECEMBER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS & NEWS
We start our Highlights for December with an exceptionally rare Waterloo period British Colour Sergeants sleeve insignia. The insignia bears the George crown, and the early silk sectioned Union flag. The insignia remains as cut direct from the sleeve of the uniform.
Our second Highlight is an extremely rare Napoleonic period Military General Service Medal with Corunna clasp to Private James Weatherspoon with the Scottish Cameronian 26th Regiment of Foot. The medal survives completely untouched within its original issue cardboard box with ink inscribed lid. A ‘gem’ of a medal, and incredible to find such an old medal still retaining its original issue box.
The last Highlight is a stunning Lord Lieutenant’s uniform belonging to Major David McCowan of the 8th Scottish Rifles. In 1920 he became Deputy Lieutenant of Glasgow. The typical scarlet uniform tailored by the famous firm of Henry Poole, Saville Row, London. The uniform complete with the ornate brocade belt, buckle, and cross strap.
