60th Foot helmet plate
Hi All,
just how bad is this one ? Bought as a restrike just for display purposes for a few pounds. measures 90mm high x 55mm wide. Can't find anything similar in K and K. Can anyone tell me what plate it is a copy of ? Cheers, Mark |

plate
Thanks for that Mark, Now I know it's supposed to be shoulder belt plate, have found it in Parkyns book number 430 but I presume should be in white metal as is the one you pointed out ?
Cheers, Mark |

Mark, I'm glad you mentioned that you purchased it as a restrike, but look at the length the fraudster has gone to in removing the black paint from the relief to give the impression of worn age. The trouble with these modern fakes is that in 25, 50, 75 years these will have genuine age and be fooling a whole new generation of collectors!
