Default So what's wrong with this then?
I was taking some photos at the local regimental museum the other day and was handed this marvellous Quilted Shako to photograph.

The curator was totally oblivious to what was wrong (which I suppose sums up many regimental curators and their lack of knowledge regarding badges and head dress) but can anyone else see what is wrong?

Hi Ivan

I'm guessing the pom-pom holder is upside-down? Should the pom-pom be cupped by the brass bits currently at the bottom?

Best

Graham

Graham, that was incredibly quick!

You are quite right, the tuft cup is upside down and yes, it should 'cup' the tuft.
