Antique British WWI Royal Horse Guards Equitation Instructor Badge 1880s connecticut The suit was recently professionallyThis is an old badge that would have been worn as a qualification as an Equitation Instructor for the Royal Horse Guards. You can tell that it is a quite old example by the quality of the wound metallic threading and the type of sequins used my best guess would be WWI era but it could be older. It is in very good condition please view the enlarged photos. It measures 3 1 4 in height and 1 7 8 in width. The Royal Horse Guards have a long history,
