From what I read here: http://www.uniformology.com/LANCERS-02.html

The 16th (Queen’s) Lancers

The Royal Arms in silver with crossed lances, pennants flying, behind. To the lower left and right, sprays of laurel. The battle honours were displayed upon the laurel leaves and in the centre below the arms. On a scroll at the bottom “SIXTEENTH LANCERS”. By 1881 the following thirteen honours had been awarded: PENINSULA, WATERLOO, BHURTPORE, MAHARAJPORE, AFGHANISTAN, GHUZNEE, ALIWAL, SOBRAON, TALAVERA, VITTORIA SALAMANCA, FUENTES D’ONOR and NIVE (the latter five honours awarded in 1848). No other battle honours were awarded before 1902.

I deduct that there was only one design until the crown changed.

Apologies again.

Its fine to ask about age and value but if you are intending to sell an item just say in your 1st post- in your situation it sounded like you were asking for info for your friend- who is selling an item. The clear statement of intent is so that members can decide with that in mind if they want to advise or not. This is due to many instances of new members joining- getting information- then posting items straight away on ebay etc. Regards, Paul.

It did sound like that upon re-reading. He shared the helmet as an item for sale that I'd might like rather than his item (I'll make sure I proof read before posting next time).

Thanks for your time.
