BRITISH PRE 1870 ROYAL COMPANY OF ARCHERS COMPLETE UNIFORM WITH SWORD

A magnificent quality, all green uniform for the Royal Company of Archers of Scotland. The Company of Royal Archers is the equivalent of the English Gentleman at Arms; both these organisations, para-military, made up of ex-military personnel, are officially the Queen's Bodyguard in both England and Scotland and attend the sovereign in both countries at all major ceremonial events. The uniforms of both these organisations are the most magnificent that can be found. This particular uniform is complete with its cocked hat, multi-embroidered Royal Company of Archers badge and green plume, long tail coat that has embroidered collar, cuffs and rear coat tails. The gilt to all the Queen's crown buttons is magnificent with its waist belt and large belt plate. Green sash with two badges of the Royal Company of Archers. A red sash with a green velvet sword frog with the complete sword in excellent condition within the frog. The bullion tassel is the most magnificent item with a VR scroll on the reverse side. The uniform is complete with its trousers. There is no moth in any place on this uniform; the gilt is magnificent and cannot be bettered by the superb quality of the hand embroidery of the removable shoulder boards. Slight tear to the seam between the shoulder board and the collar on the left-hand side of the tunic as the tunic is viewed.
