David:Hello Steve,
Absolutely, I am very interested in this photograph, so THANK YOU very much for sharing it! The image is fantastic in its clarity and detail. It seems fairly difficult to find images of officers in full dress to any of the Canadian dragoon regiments. Do you happen to know where the photograph was taken? I do have a number of images of British dragoon officers in full dress mostly Carte de Visite studio images. This image is just marvelous! I don't know if you have seen my post #2, but it showcases my three other Canadian dragoon helmets, and pictured below is my Princess Louie's Dragoon Guards helmet that is shown in that post. You should really consider posting pictures of Captain Holt's sword in a reply to this note, I would love to see it!
Again, thank you so very much for sharing this marvelous image!!
Cheers,
David

I figured you'd appreciate the photo. I love it when I can associate an item like this photo to an item in my collection. To me it gives some life to an otherwise inanimate object.
I'm a bit occupied with other distractions at the moment but by end of week I'll post some photos of the sword along with both scabbards.
Cheers:
Steve
