Victorian Military Helmet Pieces!

[romeo-1]

Had an hour after my doctors appointment today so I hit a well hunted site that has been recently plowed. Only a couple targets but they were good ones! Helmet plume holder and a shako chain from a Victorian military helmet! Very happy with these and new incentive to keep hitting this field!

I think you just helped ID one of my old whatzits. I had a copper piece/section of one of them with the crown showing & it reminded me of the tip of an umbrella but I knew it couldn't be, now I know - Thanks!

Nice complete example!

Right on! I had no idea what it was and didn't think much of it when I dug it...couldn't see the crown until later. Hope to be able to find more there. With the chain and the plume there could be a plate!
