OTSA 100 Walker Wainwright Collection Part I
Lot 1517:
Britains Band of the 11th Hussars
No 1 Dress, special commission by the MOD, in red peaked caps, Originally commissioned by the Ministry of Defence for display in the Canterbury Army Recruiting Office; 29 pieces; Very good. This lot was acquired via a well known English auction house, where they were described as Britains "Specials", in many cases supplied through Gamages. There is no compelling evidence that Gamages ever produced such special orders. There is no doubt that they are one off special commissions, but the identity of the maker/ painter remains unconfirmed.
