Nationality British
Period c 1869-78

This chin chain is for the shako that immediately preceded the introduction of the Home Service helmet. It is in white metal, which indicates volunteer infantry regiment status. Its condiiton is nice and clean, with some tarnishing to the silver finish. All the velvet lining is in place and the stitching is intact.

I'd just like to thank you for the SS Buckle, this has to be one of the best items I have yet and am very happy with it.

The helmet arrived the day before yesterday and I had a look at it today and everything looks perfect. You packed it up very well indeed. ... I've never seen him so thrilled with a gift!
