Title Volunteer chin chain, last pattern officer's shako
Nationality British
Period c 1869-78
Sold

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 received the silver Verdienstkreuz this morning. Your swiftness and dedication was very much appreciated and, though the envelope arrived with a Post Office sticker saying it had been found open or damaged, the cross was unharmed and looks beautiful. Thanks for your time.
