Item History
The 5th Dragoon Guards was an elite cavalry regiment of the British Army originally formed in 1685. This specific pattern featuring the Queen Victoria Crown (QVC) and solid bronze finish dates back to the late Victorian era, famously worn by officers during the Boer War (1899–1902). The legendary motto “Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum” translates from Latin to “No Steps Backward,” reflecting the regiment’s fierce combat legacy. This particular design was retired following the death of Queen Victoria and the regiment’s subsequent merger in 1922.
