*Set* National Police Corps (Netherlands) Vintage Badges. BA 900. - BA 900
The Dutch National Police has a long and diverse history, having undertaken many major reforms in its history, the latest being in 2012 with the introduction of one police force. Below, you will find a timeline of the Dutch National Police's history. During the Second World War there was a Reichskommissar fur die Niederlande, Arthur Seyss-Inquart. The entire police force numbered about twenty thousand employees. After the war, this service was disbanded. To restore and control public order, the government decided to set up a new police organisation in November 1945. A distinction was made between the Gemeentepolitie (municipal police) for designated municipalities, and the Rijkspolitie (national police) for the rest of the country. This collection of shoulder flap, cap badges and uniform patch date back to circa 1950-70 and are in very good order. The price includes UK delivery. BA 900. (Badges/Medals Drawer)

*Un-Issued* Vintage National Police Corps Cap. HE 855. - HE 855
The Dutch Police history starts in 1581, with the formation of the Dutch Republic. A simple police organization was created without clear tasks and powers. This stayed the same until 1810, when Napoleon annexed the Netherlands to the French Empire and started to set up a proper police force. Cities could free up money for a schout (sheriff); for towns this was a Veldwachter (constable). During the Second World War there was a Reichskommissar fur die Niederlande, Arthur Seyss-Inquart. The entire police force numbered about twenty thousand employees. After the war, this service is disbanded. To restore and control public order, the government decided to set up a new police organization in November 1945. A distinction was made between the Gemeentepolitie (municipal police) for designated municipalities, and the Rijkspolitie (national police) for the rest of the country. This cap is in very good order, with original tissue around the inner rim. The original badge is in place to the front. The price includes UK delivery. HE 855.

It served in a mounted role in the Second Boer War and World War I, and in the air defence role during and after World War II. The lineage is continued by 295 (Hampshire Yeomanry) Battery and 457 (Hampshire Carabiniers Yeomanry) Battery, batteries of 106 (Yeomanry) Regiment Royal Artillery, part of the Army Reserve.

Coldstream Guards Brass Pagri Badge. BA 903. - BA 903

Its name was again changed to the 'Coldstream Guards' in 1855 and this is still its present title. The badge is in the form of an eight-pointed rayed faceted star, at the centre of which is a Garter bearing the motto 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' (Shame on him who thinks evil of it).

*SOLD SOLD 11/03* 19th Century Black Powder Horn with U.S. Engravings. MISC 815. - MISC 815
Many antique powder horns were made by soldiers and hunters in their spare time and sometimes crudely carved if decorated at all, but there were also horn makers and engravers, also known as horners, who were incredibly talented at shaping and engraving horns. The identity of most of these artisans have been lost to time since they rarely signed their work, but some are known to collectors based on particular attributes that are emblematic of their work such as the “Pointed Tree Carver” aptly named after the pointed trees found on their horns. In addition to passing time while at sea or stuck in a garrison, simply enjoying artwork, wanting to carry something fancier than a plain horn, and pride of ownership there were practical reasons for having a horn decorated. A soldier would have their own personal powder horn that they carried, but the gunpowder itself would be supplied by the government in bulk. The powder would be stored in kegs or in larger horns in wagons when travelling, or powder magazines at forts, and soldiers would bring their personal powder horns to be refilled. In order to get your own horn back, you needed to have something on it that was identifiable. Measuring 38cm in length and 7 ½ cm at its widest point, beautifully carved depicting the state of New York up to Canada, with forts along the way. In excellent order *see images*. The price includes UK delivery. MISC 815. (The God Box)
