Pair of beautiful dress, bullion epaulettes in their tin carrying case.

Epaulette upper-surfaces feature beautiful, bright gilt ribbed material with a single row bullion border, gilt brass outer shell, and double row of hanging bullion tassels. A single 42nd regimental button and a large thistle of silver bullion and sequins is on each. Undersides are covered in red silk and red leatherette with shoulder cushions and brass fasteners. Stamped onto brass tabs of each, “W&T BUCKMASTER’S / IMPROV’D / 6153” and “LEFT” or “RIGHT” accordingly.

The epaulettes remain bright with no tarnish. Undersides are in good shape with light wear and some seam separation on the “left” epaulette. Overall epaulette condition is very good.

Carrying case is in fair condition. Japanning/black paint on outer surface shows wear and scratching, especially on top of lid. The interior of the case is lined with brain-tanned doe skin. Interior compartment is covered by doe skin and not accessible. Lining shows some dirty soiling. Wire handle remains on top with closing tab on front. Corresponding “loop” is missing. Stamped brass maker’s escutcheon is mounted at the handle.

William Buckmaster & Company was a prominent London-based military tailor and sword cutler located at 3 New Burlington Street, active from approximately 1841 to 1884. They were recognized for producing high-quality Victorian-era swords, including infantry officer swords and Court swords, often featuring intricate blade etching.
