The scroll now reads simply THE CORPS OF GUIDES CAVALRY.

Prince Albert Victor's Own Cavalry (11th Frontier Force) — transferred to   Пакистан to become 11th Cavalry (Frontier Force)

This was essentially the same design as the badge worn by its ancestor regiment, the 3rd Punjab Cavalry. In early 1974 the design of the badge was changed to the more Islamic pattern in brass and this is currently worn by the regiment.

Sam Browne's Cavalry (12th Frontier Force) — second raised by   Пакистан as 12th Cavalry (Frontier Force)
