Description
Description
Instituted in 1796. Copper gilt, engraved with the crowned royal cipher GR for Georgius Rex (King George), flanked by two olive branches, 10.6 cm x 8.6 cm, extremely fine condition.
Footnote: This pattern, known as the 1796 Universal Pattern Gorget, was introduced in May 1796. They were worn as part of the uniform by all officers of the British Army. Scarce now, this particular example dates ca.1796-early 1800s, and comfortably fits into the period spanning the French Revolutionary War, Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. The gorget was abolished by William IV in August 1830 but permitted to be worn by Officers at home up to Christmas 1831 and up to 1832 by those abroad.
