The Star of St Andrew dominated the design of this shako plate that was worn by officers of the Royal Regiment in the last three years of the bell-topped shako. The gilt figure of St Andrew is on a blue enamel centre with the regimental title below and placed on a chip-cut silver Star of St Andrew. It was all placed on the usual gilt star. In 1844 a different pattern was introduced to be worn on the Albert shako.
