[High Wood]

I picked up these three helmet plates yesterday from a non militaria specialising stallholder at a local flea market. They were pretty dirty and so far I have only cleaned the Welsh Regiment one.

The HPCs look to be O.K. having all four loops. However, I am a little concerned about the backing plates as each of them have three lugs rather than two loops.

I was told that they had come from a house clearance and were part of a larger collection of cap badges.

I suspect that they might be, in part, old fakes, possibly using original HPCs.

I would welcome your thoughts on their originality.
