Title Home Service officer's helmet chin chain hook/rosette, silver
Nationality British
Period c 1879 on
Sold

This little device secured the helmet chin chain on one side. It was from the helmet in use from 1871 to 1914, in this case for the volunteers, because it has a silver finish.

It is in nice condition, with its brass female securing piece, which would have been sewn on to the body of the helmet.

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.
