Hello
I am currently carrying out research on a Rifle Volunteers Officer's helmet of the Home Service Pattern Design and I was wondering if anyone is able to help me.
I am investigating how these helmets were manufactured but specifically for the chin chain I have not been able to find any information. The chin chain on the helmet which I am researching is silver plated interlocking rings backed with leather and then velvet. Would these rings have been made by some form of die stamping and then potentially have been soldered closed once the rings had been connected?
Thank you
Philippa
