The Royal Scots Mid Victorian Officers Shoulder Belt plate. This is the crème de la crème of a Shoulder Belt Plate. A Gilt seeded backplate with burnished edge. On this a silvered rayed star. To the centre an oval in gilt with St Andrew and a scroll “The Royal Regiment” to the centre Royal Blue enamel. Worn from 1844-1855. A truly beautiful thing.
The Royal Scots is one of the oldest regiments in the British Army, with a history dating back to 1633. The mid-Victorian officer's shoulder belt plate was a significant part of the uniform. This level of detail and craftsmanship in a shoulder belt plate makes it a prestigious and distinctive part of an officer's uniform. Such elements were not only functional but also served as symbols of honour, tradition, and regimental pride.
