Title White metal pompom support, last pattern other ranks shako
Nationality British
Period c 1869-78
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.
