This trooper sports the green
Tunic as styled after 1882, when the rows of yellow
braiding were changed from three to five.
The black velvet facings show distinctly here.
He displays the white pouch belt
introduced c.1885.
The sword slings appear to still be black, which would
place our portrait c.1885-1890, when they were changed
to white.
The photographer H.H.Harding,
working from that Studio address, had been elected a

Tuesday, 9th November, 1880.
