The actual date of this helmet is not known. It was in an auction at Bosleys in December 2004 and the catalogue says that it is a private purchase foreign service helmet with a seven fold pagri. The edge is bound with leather and inside there is a leather sweatband with a satin edge. The chinstrap was invariably worn on the peak as seen here. The badge is identical to the brass regimental badge worn on the pouches of bandsmen.
