Scots Greys.....Napoleonic Wars

[EDUARDO SANCHEZ BARBERO]

Hello everybody
Does anyone know what these hat badges look like on the back, belt and the metal plate on the hat? And the embroidery for the officers on the jacket stripe?

The jacket lace is as follows,


The breast plate badge is



The badge at the back of the fur cap is a small badge of the cross of st Andrews. I will try and get a better shot of one.
I am not sure if the Grey's had any badge on the shabraque, some one here will know.

Bob, when you say shabraque did you mean sabretache? If so this does not have a badge, it was plain leather.

On the metal part of the hat you can see two animals, what insignia is this?

I meant sabretache, senior moment.

The metal badge on the hat is a lion rampant and a unicorn.

thank you very much Do you think this metal plate is correct? Isn't the badge very small?

I think the plate is a modern reproduction for possibly, a re enactment unit. I am trying to access the National Army museum in London. I am also trying to get in touch with the regimental museum for the Grey's in Scotland.

The braid is hanging too low and the flounders should be higher up

Hello,
I find the following section from The British Empire site very good for British and Colonial uniforms:- Land forces of the British Empire.
Regarding The Royal North British Dragoons bearskin of 1815, see from the above site the image at : www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/britishcavalry/scotsgreys1815.htm
The image shows the detail of the various badges on the bearskin.
Hope this helps.

Great references on this site , here’s the pic and text from Lightbobs link

The bearskin caps worn by the officers of the Greys are at the top of the illustration. The plaited cords are decorative only and tie on the right side with tassels. The cords are gold with a crimson fleck. The front of the cap has a gilt plate with the Royal arms, and the chin-scales are gilt. The back of the cap has a red circular patch with a White Horse of Hanover badge, presumably embroidered. Officers also had a silver thistle badge just below the red patch. A white feather plume was worn on the left side. The other ranks' bearskin cap on the lower part of the illustration is protected by a foul-weather oilskin cover. The undress forage cap in the middle has a red cap-band with a white vandyke pattern, worn on forage caps by the Greys for 200 years.
