Hi All
I just put this frame together of assorted helmet plates and a few other interesting badges. Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers,

I'll second that, thanks Alex.
Any chance of creating an album of each separate badge?
Cheers, Tinto

Very nice. I'd be interested to know what the rifles plate on the top right and militia one (fourth from top on the left) are?

Hi Keith
The plate at the top right is the 1st Volunteer Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, and the other one is the London Rifle Brigade.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi
As requested I've made up an album of all the badges on the frame I made up. Sorry I didn't take any photos of the backs before I put them in the display. If anyone wants to know about any of the fittings I'd be happy to tell you.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex. Thanks for the fine display. Hang on to that badge of the 45th Foot, (or make sure you get a damned good price for it !). It is an extremely rare ORs "Regency" shako plate circa 1822 to 1829. I dont think even the regimental museum has one of these. Congratulations and best wishes. Jeff
