This is a set of leather pommel holsters for an officer of the 17th Lancers. The holsters are composed of brown leather with a brass decorative cap at the bottom. They are joined together at the top and have a one-piece black patent leather flap lined with white cotton cloth for both holsters. The flap has a large silvered 17th Lancers skull badge on each side. There is a leather strip with a hole on the inside of the flap and a leather knot fastener on the body of the holster. A long leather strap runs straight down to go underneath the horse.

Very good, the patent leather shows cracks, flaking and wear with the cloth lining having tears and stains. The silver badges have a dark aged patina. The brass has a generally bright appearance with some dings and wear. There are some scattered light scratches on the holster bodies.
