Victorian Warwickshire Regiment Militia / Volunteer Battalion Officer 's Silver Plated Helmet Plate, 1880 - 1902

A star of eight points, the topmost point displaced by a Victorian crown. On this a laurel wreath. Within the wreath a strap inscribed the garter motto Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense. In the centre the regimental device of the Warwickshire Regiment, an antelope with a coronet around its neck and chain attached standing on a torse on a black velvet cloth background. An applied scroll below: "The Royal Warwickshire Regiment". Interesting there is no battalion number, could this be militia?

All in silver plate with all three original loops to the reverse. Circa 12.1cm tall. In good condition with some minor tarnish, mainly to top left star point and middle left star point slightly bent. Generally could do with taking apart and given a gentle clean.
