WIP And on my Bench we have ......Mr Mott

Not 100% but stud on sling/belt def brass

My thoughts for Brass are The Belt Buckle and adjustment buckles are Brass. The two hooks sewn into the tunic one either side to sit the belt in are brass. I just cant see white metal being used along side.

Cheers Mick ...brass is what I am going for then

This is a WO belt buckle (from Welsh Guards reunited website with a forward written by Mr Mott himself)

Scots Div WO sword belts have brass hooks and slings if that helps. I assume guards Div would be the same, they do like to have something to Brasso (other metal polishes are available)

Hi Guys

Now detailed up the belt buckle as well

Anyone got easy to see details how the sword is hung and worn ( I believe with the basket facing back) ...bit confused about the hooks etc

Up the page Mick has posted a great picture of it. The s shaped hook catches the ring on the scabbard.
That make sense? I'm not home just now or I could get a pic of mine.

Scotty.

Not quite sure how to answer this. He is wearing his sash over is right shoulder. He wouldn't wear an officers sash as he is a senior NCO albeit he is called a warrant officer he is not a commissioned officer.

Sorry I know, but our RSM wore officers kit in ceremonials so I assumed all Regiments did. Is it just a guards thing?
