There are currently NO original home service helmet plates on eBay for the Royal Irish Rifles.
A rare Helmet Plate which is seldom seen for sale anywhere.

All copies from suspect dealers.

The King's Crown plate isn't for the Helmet, it is the cross belt pattern. They stopped wearing the Home Service Helmet in 1890.
