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.

Sword arrived today. Fabulous. This is an excellent example of a fighting sword of its period, and a real gem. The 1828 Pattern is such a gorgeous sword, and this is a fine example. Even my bride is impressed and she doesn’t really get swords.
