This exceptional plate retains 100% of the original fire gilt, a fracture in the plate runs through the top of the right fore-leg to the near bottom of the left fore-leg of the Unicorn, at the base one of the two retaining holes has been distorted £700-1000

See colour illustration on back cover.

The vendor states the plate may pertain to a Guards regiment, but as regiments with specific badges did apply them to plates of this period, it is more likely that of a line regiment without such a badge.
