Yes..interesting photo...and, from whats been said I agree the hat appears to be a Broderick. The equipment appears to be all British. Minor observations:- I note only single reins in use! The pommel wallets appear standard..except the flap does look a bit different. The head rope appears to be troo...

Just to say this a fascinating book tucked away on my shelf. Brought to my attention again by selewes'post. I have only thumbed through..not had the time to read properly yet...but should do. I remembered the book especially by its photos of the Indian horses with their distinctive and inward turnin...

A brief recap on the stirrups.... The British cavalry Regulation stirrup from circa 1900...or a bit earlier....I forget exact dates....had two treads but no shoulder. All contemporary photos of Regular cavalry (at any rate those I have seen) show this pattern in use. Yeomanry cavalry appeared to be ...

I have two UP1912's dated 1916 made in Canada and an Australian made UP1912 dated 1915. This latter example incorporates the front arch struts which are required to restrain the front arch from leaning back...a feature of many Australian made 1912'S. This feature may not be found on Canadian made UP...

Pat....yes, I agree. Hav'nt time at the moment to read back carefully over this thread, but it might be relevant to reread my first posting at the beginning. Basically, as I see it, the REGULAR British cavalry used the folding hoofpick ..officially...up to 1905. They were then on instructed to use t...

Yes, this was discussed a long while back. However I will put down what I know. A clasp knife with marlin spike and lanyard was introduced (or at least its previous use confirmed) in Feb 1872 for Engineers (LoC 2309). The next clasp knife, MK2, was sealed in July 1876. It differed from the previous ...
