Default Gorget ID

Hi Jim,
I took your advice regarding possible research of the insignia to help ID the regiment that the gorget might be associated with. At first I couldn't make sense of the royal cypher that is unlike the traditional examples I have seen. But further research led me to believe that the cypher is the royal cypher of King George II or III " reversed and interlaced " which was a device used by the First Royal Regiment of Foot which fought with distinction in the colonies during the French & Indian War. My hope is that the gorget was part of the regiment's esteemed history during this time.
Regards,
Paul
