Beats me. I'm just reporting based off the title on the auction.

It might be an officers personal item. The original owner is named in the auction.
All my research into the 17th (which is pretty minimal, and web-based) show nothing of the sort as part of their uniform.

One way or the other, it's a gorgeous piece. And too rich for my wallet

Downunder,
there are MANY references to white parts (ie the chest) of the foreign service uniform being folded back, as it made a perfect target Good find on the other sporran with hanger!
