Wiltshire Rifles Volunteers Helmet Plate Officers????????????
Hopefully somebody who knows more than I can assist in this matter. I have been told this is Wiltshire Rifle Volunteers but I can not find it in Kipling and Kings. Any help would be appreciated. Along with the value of the badge would also be appreciated. THanks

Hmmm Okay thanks PB. Now to just find a collector of it. I have a local guy who wants to trade me for the other three badges I listed but I kind of like it honestly as it is an officers volunteer and very nice

Dave of the 4 badges you have shown ( and based on the limitations of the photos you have posted ) this is the only badge I would be happy to own.
P.B.

Bosleys offered an example of this helmet plate in their auction of 11/12/2002- lot 95 guide price £150-£200.
I dont know what it sold for but it makes my figure on the conservative side. P.B.
