Sabretache 1880-1901



The final version of the 8th Hussars officer's sabretache was instituted after the Second Afghan War 1878-80. The honour AFGHANISTAN was placed bottom right and CENTRAL INDIA was moved to bottom left. The rest of the design remained the same. Both this and the previous design had omitted the VIII above the harp. The full dress sabretache was discontinued after 1901.
