[ H399 ] INDIAN ARMY 1871 PATTERN RAMPUR LANCERS HELMET

Description

pat 1871 Indian Officer of the Rampur Lancers helmet with white metal skull ,brass helmet with white metal star, Embossed with word RAMPUR over a smaller star in brass. Unusual Bosses with both Lion head & Rossette, chin scales are missing their backing, usually velvet or leather but are lost to time, partial leather liner still intact but very hard & stiff.
In all an attractive Early helmet which is a lot less common than the English version, good orange horse hair plume, I also noticed the floral spine at the rear of the helmet has a small break, shown in images when I have them up. this could be fixed up if you wanted to try but the plume hides it anyway. I prefer to leave as I find .
