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.

My Arisaka arrived at 9.00am. Very prompt delivery and excellent packaging! The blade is superb.. and just what I was after, its in very fine condition and just as you described.. I've referenced it in my copy of Raymond La Bar's book "Bayonets of Japan".

Many thanks, Chris, once again its been a pleasure doing business!
