While finding the badge of this Household Cavalry, I came upon this interesting info.
While The Blues and Royals wear a red plume on their helmets the farriers wear a black plume and carry a battle axe.

: It's a picture. Right? Two pictures,

: Surely the fact that during the day she

: for whom these are the two badges, is enough
: of a reason to identify them as badges for
: these regiments?
:
: She would never wear a badge from a

: disrespectful to both involved regiments.
