Title 1st Lancashire Volunteer Battalion Home Service helmet plate
Nationality English
Period c 1881-1902
Price £195.00

This OR's helmet plate would have been worn on the cork bodied blue cloth helmet, with white metal fittings, spike and chin chain, that was adopted by the British Army in 1871 under the influence of the Prussian victory over France in 1871.

This is a two-piece die-struck plate made of white metal and measures nearly 13cm high by just over 10.5cm wide. It is in excellent condition for its age, with no apparent damage splits, dings, etc.

testimonials

Thanks very much for the bayonet. I am very happy, I think your photos of your items are great because nothing is hidden and you can clearly see them. (Unlike some other dealers.) Everything was as you describe, I will be keeping a eye on your site for any further bayonets for my collection.

Just to let you know the two propelling pencils, in the form of pistols, have just arrived in the condition you sent them. Thank you very much indeed for your excellent and prompt service, and I will keep a look out on your site for any other pencils you may have for sale in the future.
