3rd King’s Own Hussars Victorian Officer’s Shabracque.A scarce and important early post-1861 example. Blue cloth with rounded corners, edged with double row of distinctive gold regimental “basket and vellum” lace, the forecorners embroidered with a Guelphic crown above the VR cypher; the hind corners with the crown above the Horse of Hanover on a scarlet ground within a circlet inscribed NEC ASPERA TERRENT, above the regimental number. Moleskin lining, named in ink to E (or “F” underlined?) Grant, with oilskin sections to the hind corners. Lace and embroidery toned, one leather strap defective, some stitching faults, minor moth and repairs.Army Lists show one Fred G. Forsyth Grant as a Cornet in the 3rd Light Dragoons in 1858 and as a Lieut. the next year. In 1863 and 1866 he is a Captain in the same regiment (by then Hussars).After conversion from Light Dragoons, the 3rd, 4th, 13th and 14th Hussars retained the round-cornered style of shabracque for some time before changing to the shape with pointed corners worn by other hussar regiments. Unfortunately Dress Regulations give no indication of the date of the change, but the 14th retained the Light Dragoon style until the final abolition of shabracques in the 1890s. Comparison of the item offered here with the 1864 Dress Regulations suggests that the only immediate alteration was the change of designation from 3LD to 3H.
