Lancer Headdress

[mac mcconnell]

My interest is Lance Cap Plates and the 1856 onwards mainly due to cost if you go the other way its very expensive not that post 1856 are not.
I am quiet new to this collectors world I had bits and bobs from when I served in the Lancers but have really collected the last two years.
My main source of reference is David Rowes Book on Head Dress of the British Lancers 1816 - To Present . Also trips to the Queens Royal Lancers Museum are a great help

I also collect the Czapkas as well it was a natural progression .

Last summer I was lucky enough to get my first Line Officers Czapka that is still being worked on but heres how it looks thus far.
