24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment Ensign or Major’s Gold Cord Shoulder Straps March 1880-July 1881.
A very rare and fine quality pair of the prescribed infantry pattern, each bearing a silver bullion Bath star. The gilt finial buttons of the correct pattern, scalloped rim, laurels and ’24’ are affixed to the spring loaded attachment mechanism, the scarlet cloth linings with moth damage, the metal tongues lacking from the outer ends, very good ‘facial’ condition
£100-£140

Note: From 1855-81 the same badge was used for both the quoted ranks, only the lace on the cuffs and collar of the tunic determined the difference. The rank badges were removed from the collar to the shoulder around March 1880.
