A scarce example of a regulation battle dress sabretache. A large flat dispatch pouch worn by mounted officers along with their saber.  This example dates 1856 to 1875 and is constructed of treated patent black leather and an interior dyed red pocket within. There are three white-painted straps with brass buckles at top and two longer straps for the sword. These attach to an "undress" cloth belt and buckle worn under the uniform jacket. The stiff front flap measures 12 inches by 11 inches and bears the fire gilt brass crest of the Royal Regiment Artillery, consisting of a rampant lion and unicorn flanking a crowned garter containing a quartered shield, above banners emblazoned "Dieu et Mon Droit" ("God and My Right"). Beneath these appears a cannon in profile above the bannered motto of the Royal Regiment of the Artillery: "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt" ("Everywhere That Right and Glory Lead").  Excellent condition.   [pe] [ph:L]
