Scarce Victorian Buffs ( Royal East Kent Regiment ) Bi Metal Facing Pair of Collar Badges, worn 1882 - 1896 only

Issued in 1882, the white horse facing left over a brass scroll Invicta, replacing the dragon collar badge and then being replaced once again by the dragon collar badge in 1894. A closely matching facing pair with original dark toned lugs to the reverse of each. In good condition but with some wear to the lugs. A confusing and unexpected change in regimental motif. Scarce.

Churchill No 78 refers.
