Maybe Crusader could guess if it is British Cavalry or not. There is the little emblem on the hat, but probably has no detail. Besides I think UK, French and German all used variation of the "target" circle thing. May not know for sure unless someone knows for sure that the Germans didn't have short swords, or something like that.

I think British, & 'parade' dress rather than battle.
 

nice variety of early finds there... love the naval cuff button
 

That buckle frame is killer :headbang:

Nice relics :icon_thumleft:

My kind of finds :thumbsup:
