2nd King’s Own Staffordshire Militia (Light Infantry) Officer’s Green Cloth Helmet c. 1878-1881.
A good quality example, the skull complete with all silver plated fittings, the frontal plate of crowned star pattern with laurel overlays enclosing a circle ‘2nd King’s Own Staffordshire Militia’, in the centre on a ground of velvet (now worn) the Royal Crest, buff leather sweatband with attached crimson silk lining, retailed by ‘Cater & Co., London’, the plate is not original to the helmet, and the retaining nuts for the quadrant of incorrect pattern, otherwise very good overall condition £300-£400
