Hi, I agree with Frank but I can assure I will dispose of it in a far more responsible way 😁

Modern helmet plates of a similar design (dragoon backing star) are invariably supplied with threaded bolt fittings to-day, so would not condemn the backing plate on that basis.

Just to clear up any confusion, the Helmet plate is genuine and the screw post fittings quite normal.

Its a nice piece.
