Farkas Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hi Gents The pip may hold a clue but I can't date it . I think it belongs here in the imperial forum. Great little (Cavalry?) lobster tail style helmet, great effort by someone. Found luckily, in the bottom of a box of junk from a house clearance. 'plate' - pip chinstrap - bracelet hope you like tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
