    I have photos but can't figure out how to send them. It is 27 inches long of heavy wool. The waist size is small, perhaps 30 inches or less. It has two leather straps. There are no labels or other identifying marks. A medalion appears on the sporran and the bonnet. The medalion has a crown at the top, a horn, the word "Assaye" and an elephant at the bottom.

    This sounds like the Highland Light Infantry badge (circa 1902-1952):



    here's a couple links about the unit:
