Title White metal pompom support, last pattern other ranks shako
Nationality British
Period c 1869-78
Price £0.00
Sold

This was worn secured to the shako by a small stalk coming out of the base of the pompom and descending into the body of the shako. In white metal, it denotes volunteer status. There is some minor patination to this piece, nothing that a good clean with ammonia and solvo autosol wouldn't remove, if it was desired.

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
