L.N.E.R. marked leather gaiters - need help
Hi im new to the LNER forum, and I need some help on a pair of leather gaiters that I picked up. They are both marked L.N.E.R. and are military/equestrian in style. Did LNER have horsemen?? Or are these workers gaiters possibly? (some ideas on value would also be nice)

Certainly look equestrian, presumably in connection with horse-drawn delivery wagons.
Going slightly off topic, I've seen a couple of photos from the late 1940s, one showing a non-uniformed railway worker at Kitty and a uniformed shunter at Kyle, both wearing what appear to be ex-British Army ankle gaiters.

Ok thanks for that - they're going up on eBay if anyone is interested.
