Mississauga Horse Helmet Plate
 
Does anyone have a photo of this helmet plate that they can share with me?

Thnx,
Clive

Clive,
My Mazeas book doesn't show a HP for the MH. He calls this a pug or busby badge - is that what you need?

Here's why I asked. This image is from the Ogilby Trust, copies of some of the artwork is held at Brown University in Rhode Island.
I am not sure where Ogilby obtained his information, although popular belief is that he wrote individual letters to each unit to determine their regimental dress. As I have never seen a helmet or helmet plate to the 9th Mississauga Horse, and no one else has heard of the HP, I will relegate this image to the 'fantasy' file. Unfortunate as the detail clearly shows the proper collar badges and Myrtle Green facings.
