Title Hampshire Regiment helmet plate centre, 1881 pattern
Nationality British
Period c 1881-1914
Price £20.00

This device fitted on the standard star-shaped helmet plate of the late Victorian era. It was normally worn on the blue cloth helmet, which had a cork body trimmed with leather. These helmets were worn from 1881 to 1914 and to this day they are still on occasion worn by the regimental band of the descendant regiments.

There is verdigris on the reverse, but, this apart, the piece is in excellent condition, a typical example of the gilding metal product of this era.

Thank you for the receipt. It wasn't necessary so soon. I was happy to get it when we meet. You have a most excellent reputation and I trust you. It is a pleasure to do business with you and hope to do more.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
