DAVID STIRLING ( SAS ) FAMILY ATTRIBUTED - SOUTH LENNOX YEOMANRY CAVALRY OFFICERS SBP - DAVID STIRLING

Very rare silver hallmarked Georgian shoulder belt plate with h/m's for Birmingham 1799.
In 1802 this unit were absorbed into the Stirling Yeomanry.
What is very interesting about this one is it came from the family home of David Stirling , founder of the S.A.S. The contents of the Stirling family home Keir House Dunblane were auctioned off by Christies in 1995 after decades in storage.
This was one of the items from that auction.It was formerly the property of CHARLES STIRLING who was the C.O.( major )in Command from 1805.
In it's own right this is an incredibly rare piece and coupled with the fact that it belonged to an ancestor of one of the most famous soldiers of WW2 makes it a fantastic thing to own.
Condition, Excellent
P.O.A.
