South Wales Borderers Officer's Home Service Helmet

This Officer's Home Service pattern helmet circa 1885 features a gilt plate of an eight-pointed star with a Victorian crown at the top. On top of the star are acanthus laurels with a silver regimental title banner and in the center is a silver Welsh dragon in a garter circle. Gilt spike on a cross base and gilt, leather and velvet backed chin chain. Dark green skived leather lining on the peaks, a crimson skived leather brow band and a crimson silk lining with a "J. HASLETT WOOLWICH" circular maker's label.

ConditionVery good, the blue outer fabric shows only light wear and a small area of leather edge trim absent. The gilt components show an attractive aged patina with the chin chain having a cut link and extras added. The green lining has faded to a brown with traces of original color. The crimson silk lining is coming unstitched from the brow band.
