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.
