Sabretache 1837 - 1856


The design of the officer’s sabretache remained unchanged apart from the VR cypher of Queen Victoria who came to the throne in 1837. The battle honours for WATERLOO and PENINSULA were the only honours up until the end of the Crimean War when Sevastopol was added. The lace around the border was changed from the previous pattern and was now ‘wave and stand’.
