actually confirm it with a lighted loupe / magnifying glass.

Now, the ia / sA could also be a 15..., 15th Rgm?

LOL!!!! Those pesky papparazzi's!!!! How did they get this picture of me in my sword research disguise, on the neverending quest for those elusive references !
Outstanding Manolo !, ya got me there.

I wish I could get a better photo of these markings, they really are as I showed though, the Cs and an A, the numeral 4 and below 43.

It is distinctly a British light cav 1796, and I've probably had it 30 years now, again, not available right now.

All the best,
Jim
