A very fine example of the 1881 pattern, the blue cloth helmet worn by all Line and Corps Regiment officers of the British Army. This example produced in cork with cloth cover. Magnificent example, all the cloth clean with just the minutest of “tracking” to the right hand side , good gilt overall. This is a post 1902 Kings Crown version worn during the reign of Edward VII from 1902 to 10. The front plate has the scroll and centrepiece of a very good well known line Regiment “Sherwood Foresters”. The chin chain with its velvet backing is full length The “spike” appears to be slanted to one side ( just a little) To the interior both the front and back peaks lined in green Morocco leather, beautifully marked to the inner crown “Best London Manufacturer’, a beautiful untouched Home Service Helmet
