Forums at The Military Horse

Todd, that stamp I have seen on RIA produced saddles on the hangar also, but first time I have seen it on a pin. I wonder when they stopped marking them RIA with date ( latest I've seen was 1910, first was 1902) and when they used this stamp

I recently acquired a Lyons pin which had and interesting ordnance stamp on it that I have never seen, wanted to share.

Thanks,

Mitch Fenton

Thanks everyone for the replys....

The red star animal relief as i understood it was the predecessor to the humane society that we have today.
I have some pamphlets from this organization In my veterinary collection distributed during wwI on proper techniques of shooting/putting down horses ...

Im trying to dig up some information on a horse drawn ambulance for injured/sick horses.
It would have been in the time period of 1900-1918.

No mention of it appears in the manual for the quatermaster 0f 1916 or campbell's books on veterinary milatary history.

Has anyone seen a picture of this ...
