PAOLYC Helmet Plate 1860-70
 

Hi All

It was spotted by a forum member in 2021, who kindly tipped me off, on a Canadian website :) I have just paid for it and it will be on its way shortly.

I never thought I would own one!

That is really quite stunning, well done Griff.

And an early entry for post your best badge 2022!

They don’t get any better than that

Thanks all :)

More detailed pics once it arrives and I have cleaned it etc.

It originally had three threaded posts with square nuts, but they have been sawn off (highlighted in green). There are two loops soldered in place, E/W, for mounting.

It really is a proper hens tooth.

Lovely - and for whatever reason the fittings were sawn off thank goodness nobody hammered a few nails through it for display purposes.

That is a lovely item, a good find!

Well done Mate. great find.

..... here is a PAOLYC Albert helmet & tin with a sabretache scroll that was sold at auction a few years ago.

Please for your Griff, always nice to get a badge you are chasing

Look forward to those pictures.

That is a stunning piece, congratulations.

Any chance you could sprinkle some more of that luck powder please, am looking for the equivalent HPs for West Essex Yeo... :)

I am familiar with the Canadian dealer you acquired this helmet plate from... have done business with him as well as he has some interesting high-end Victorian British and Canadian militaria. You have aquired a pretty spectacular piece in this plate. Well done... congratulations on your find!
