rusticalex Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This is in with some of the other militaria items that I have, and it sure looks like it could have been part of a uniform, but please enlighten me if you can as to what it is! It is about 18" long. Thanks Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pylon1357 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Looks to me like cape neck chain, similar to that of a nursing sister. Just a guess at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldstream Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 My guess would be a chintrap or curb chain for some sort of helmet. The righthand rosette appears to have a hook to allow the strap to be either worn closed or hooked up onto the helmet. This item also has a backing which i believe would not be fitted to a cape chain. Could you tell us what size the entire thing is please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldstream Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) IMHO definately a helmet chin strap.....I'm away from my library at the moment but I'm sure someone will provide an illustration to confirm it :cheers: Edited November 18, 2009 by leigh kitchen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
