Hi, I’ve a brass belt buckle with the Cornish motto of ‘one and all’ and the bezants and shield surmounted by a crown – it is stamped on either plate with the number 29. I would be keen to confirm its date of issue and use.
Hi David,
Afraid my knowledge of Cornish wasit belt clasps isn’t good. I assume it is most likely to be a Rifle Volunteers clasp.
They are split into two main periods 1859-1880 and 1881-1908. I would guess its the ealier period.
The problem is that it could also be early Cornish Constabulary.
It may be worth posting phoyos on this forum http://www.britishbadgeforum.com
I’m sure there will be Cornish collectors able to better answer.
Best regards,
Jeff
Sincere thanks
