Title Westminster Dragoons chin strap, officer's
Nationality British
Period c 1803
Sold

This is a chin strap for the Light Dragoon helmet with black bearskin crest and dark blue silk turban, worn by this celebrated unit in the Regency period. Sadly, there is only one, a rare survivor from those days. It is in old Sheffield plate, with its original velvet lining.

Its condition is excellent, but it is tarnished with age.
