Title Home Service helmet crosspiece and spike, officer's
Nationality British
Period c 1871 on
Sold

This, in white metal, is the officer's fitting for the blue cloth helmet of 1871, worn in full dress until 1914. The white metal denotes volunteer status, as opposed to regular. Its condition is excellent, but there are no securing nuts or bolts to the screw threads.

Incredibly, I received your shipment today. Super fast delivery, I was expecting it on Saturday. The helmet was, as you said, 100%. The side cap is excellent also...

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.
