Victorian QVC Infantry Regiments Generic Brass Pattern Glengarry Crown for wear above a HPC, post 1881

Brass crown for use as part of glengarry with helmet plate centre. Two original wire loops to reverse. Some service wear but good condition.

Helmet plate centres were worn on the Glengarry until 1896 with a brass crown above, sometimes worn separately rather than joined to the HPC and often held together with a brass backing plate. This stand-alone crown is in lovely condition with two original staple style loops to the reverse.
