1st Punjab Cavalry


Mounted Sowar 1887


This litho print by Simkin was published in the late 1890s but the mounted figure of a sowar of the 1st Punjab Cavalry was based on the 1887 photo. The colouring is incorrect as far as the belts are concerned. The pouchbelt and waistbelt should be black leather.
