Yes, I have been hunting for any c.1850-ish era insignia and medals named to the Poonah Irregular Horse, but, sadly, have only found WWI era badges.
Swords? I do not know the pattern they used during his period, or if they may have been marked to this particular unit! If so, I'm in trouble...
Anyone know of something in this category that can help me out, please PM!
Even images that show this pistol on uniformed troopers. I would like to do an article for a magazine.
I know of some print images that are owned by the Woolwich Museum and possibly the National Army Museum in London. (They were used in a book entitled "Indian Army" or something like this!) by Mollo, but I don't have permission to use them.
There are even a few paintings held by a Regimental Museums depicting the regiment at Kushab, if my memory is correct.
If I get off my A** and tighten the legal end of this up! I think this could be a great article.
