hi phil
cossom is working on a pre fed book and has been for several years.
the full gilt HP that i show is the officers pattern circa 1875.
actually, this HP came from Cossum

hey Keith
what you say makes total sense. i always wondered why the STVA plates are so rare

Having moved house 2 years ago I still cant find my folder of Vic pre fed Arty photos but I don't remember there being any of this type of Helmet Plate, all the officers wore a large Star type of white metal plate on a cloth helmet with a spike.

Kingsley Im still following my other enquiries and will get back to you.

Regards

Phil.
