Sergeant Major's Czapka, c1850-55.
A front plate from the original helmet worn by the 17th LD. The plate was edged in brown bear fur, some of which is still visible. The skull is missing but it shows the "Or Glory" Motto (I have superimposed the Tarleton Skull onto the image). This plate is on display at the Queen's Royal Lancers Museum.
