Horn ring identification

Post by Ignatzcatz »

I would be grateful if anybody could identify this scabby old horn ring. It might have come off a BT6 but I'm not sure. Thanks 356 boffins.

Not sure about that Andy. I may be wrong but I thought that up to 59, the horn ring was ivory coloured enamel, not metallic finish as this one appears to be.

It's definitely the A (56-59) horn ring.
Looks like it's been chromed, possibly original?
