Default 17th Lancers Lance cap

I have consulted David Rowes Book I have asked at Regiment and some other authorities.
No one can recall this style of plate any one got one in there collection Its odd as it has no battle honours which is Ok for the larger 1846 type plate that's the first picture. the 1856 plate is smaller and should have 4 battle honours.

Well the Auction house sold the Lance cap and the plate what was nice to see was before bidding commenced the auctioneer pointed out the faults with the plate still went for £3000 complete.
