MIS-041 Lion and Whistle We have silver plated metal lion and whistle that was popular with the officers and NCOs of British Rifle and Light Infantry Corps throughout the 19th Century.   Worn with just the lion's head and whistle, it is also appropriate for the 18th century.  From portraits of the Napoleonic period, it is obvious the officers of the famous 95th Rifles were the first to adopt this particular design.  Today it still in use in the British Army.  This is a beautifully crafted replica.

MIS-040 Shako Drummer's Badge Since the introduction of the cloth mitre cap, drummers had worn a metal drum on the rear of their caps.  By the Napoleonic Wars, shakos began to be worn by drummers on campaign, leaving their bearskin caps for the parade square.   To make them distinct from the rest of the men's shakos, drummers wore a brass drum on the rear.  This continued throughout the first half of the 19th century.   Click here for an image of a fifer in 1828 wearing the brass drum at the rear of his shako.   A great tradition to revive for your fife and drum corps!   12.95US  (17.00CAN) each.
