@JackSofty - @dlrg is on the right track. Search under all the foreign language terminology you can ascertain and the countries that these accoutrements originated.
To be fair, it works best when time isn't an issue but I've found certain items I was looking for by doing so and come across items similar to yours at sensible prices.

Many thanks for that and I will explore the links.

Cheers.

Seems like there is more out there than I have, in my feebleness, been able to find in a long time but now, with a bit more to investigate and your pointers, I may get there.
If not, I will have to make a former and see what I have in gold purl & spangles. I managed to take comparitive depth & height meaurements from the pictures
Many thanks for the info, the hunt is back on.

Lest us know how you get on. In the meantime 'I'll keep me eye out' as the saying goes!

Thinking about it now, but not being bothered to get out of my chair, I think it might be one of the MacAuslan books. Possibly the second volume when MacAuslan was sent for court martial and he was defending officer. I’m sure it was his counsel when describing the board described one member as being from “the chainy tenth”!

I’m away from my library but I’m certain it was in Flashman and the Redskins that he exclaimed “Chainy tenth!” to the long nosed Irish cad who was ploughing Flashy’s meal ticket on the sly whilst he was pretending to be the dead naval spy Beauchamp Comber, thereby bringing suspicion on himself.... much hilarity and debauchery ensued.

Star geezer, will do and thanks again.

The various images upthread show men wearing riding breeches, not jodhpurs.

Breeches reach to just under the knee, and have a lace to tie them off, and then a long riding boot is worn.

Jodhpurs are full length, close fitting, and terminate at the ankle with a turn up.
