Bennett dates this pattern to c1880, just before the 29th Foot became the 1st battalion of The Worcestershire Regiment in the Cardwell reforms of 1881 (glengarry badges then ceased to carry the regimental number). All of this suggests this was a short-lived badge. 29th Foot Quilted Pattern Shako Plate

Note: The crown has been expertly repaired. 2nd VB Border Regt HP A rare, white metal, helmet plate for the 2nd volunteer battalion of The Border Regiment with three lug fastenings (north, east and west - one a crude repair). HQ at Kendal.
Note: This example has a non-voided centre rather than the usual \'blade\' fastenings holding a red felt centre. I do not know why this is - a manufacturing error or for a deliberate reason?
I have also had a glengarry badge in the past for this battalion with the same non-voided centre. 2nd VB DCLI Helmet Plate
A scarce, white metal, helmet plate for the 2nd volunteer battalion of The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry with two lug fastenings (east and west, the north lug is missing). Some damage to the star tip at 3 o'clock. HQ at Bodmin.

A scarce, white metal, helmet plate for the 2nd volunteer battalion of The Lincolnshire Regiment with three lug fastenings (north, east and west). HQ at Grantham.
Note: This plate is unusual in that it shows a 'strap' to the centre rather than the standard circlet.

HQ at Bury St Edmunds. Churchill 399.

KK476. 33rd Foot Collar Badge? An intriguing, brass badge with two lug fastenings (north and south). Churchill 915.
Note: Churchill states this badge is commonly thought to have been worn by the 33rd Foot, and notes it is identical to the centre of the post-1881 helmet plate centre for The Duke of Wellington\'s Regiment (West Riding).
However, he states \"there is no evidence that it was worn on the collar pre or post 1881\" and speculates a more likely attribution is the 5th (Wellington Rifles) New Zealand.
Churchill adds: \"Despite seeing a torn out section of a sample/pattern card annotated \'West Riding Regt, 1896, facing to the left\', there is no evidence of such a pattern in the Army Clothing Department pattern room journals.\"
He also notes a similar badge, sealed 6th August 1920, was for side hat ornament. 34th Foor Last Pattern Shako Plate A rare, brass, last pattern shako plate for The 34th Foot (later 1st battalion of The Border Regiment) with two lug fastenings (east and west).

He adds: "As it was directed that these badges were only to be brought into use, 'when present stocks are exhausted', and a further pattern was introduced in 1896, it is perhaps doubtful as to whether they were ever worn - if they were, then only for a very short period."

A rare, silver-plated, helmet plate for an officer of a volunteer/militia battalion of The King's Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment with three lug fastenings (north, east and west). The reverse is marked for Hobson & Sons.

Note: This is the smaller version at 37mm wide x 52mm high.

Churchill 238.
Note: One of these collars is marked for manufacturer J.R. Gaunt London while the other is marked for J&Co (Jennens).
Churchill dates these collars to post-1926. I understand Jennens was acquired by Gaunts in 1925 so the J&Co mark is interesting on a post-1926 badge. King\'s Regt \'Beret\' Badge A bi-metal cap badge for The King's Regiment (Liverpool) with a slider fastening and 'sweathole' construction. KK1975.
Note: This is the smaller, beret-sized, badge. King\'s Regt \'Beret\' Badge A bi-metal cap badge for The King\'s Regiment (Liverpool) with a slider fastening (marked Smith & Wright Ltd). KK1975.

A scarce, blackened brass, cap badge for a militia battalion of The King's Royal Rifle Corps with two lug fastenings (east and west).

The centre has a scarlet cloth backing. As KK269.
Note: I understand this pattern plate, without the 60 numerals to the centre, was worn circa 1881-83 only. The upper scroll has been reattached to the cross (by the P of Peninsula).
There is a thick black backing to this helmet plate - I\'m not sure of the relevance of this or if it was contemporary or a later addition. KRRC Plastic Cap Badge.

KK1126 or Rowe & Carman 53A.
Note: The 2nd Revised Edition of Kipling & King includes this plate in the section on reserve regiments of the South African war (chapter 21) but states this was a more general helmet plate for cavalry regiments serving abroad. Rowe & Carman confirms it was worn more generally by lancer units and suggests it was worn on the foreign service (cork) helmet. Lancers Foreign Service Helmet Plate A scarce, Lancers general pattern, brass helmet plate with two lug fastenings (east and west). KK1126 or Rowe & Carman 53A.
Note: The 2nd Revised Edition of Kipling & King includes this plate in the section on reserve regiments of the South African war (chapter 21) but states this was a more general helmet plate for cavalry regiments serving abroad.
Rowe & Carman confirms it was worn more generally by lancer units and suggests it was worn on the foreign service (cork) helmet. Leeds Volunteer Rifles Pouch Badge

One is marked Sterling on the reverse. Churchill 546.
Note: Churchill states: "The tiger and wreath badges both in white metal and silver plate are known, they were probably taken into use after 1908 when the [1st volunteer] battalion became the 4th and 5th (TF) battalions.
"Certainly the officers versions in silver plate were used after the TA's reformations in the 1920s." Leicestershire Yeomanry Cap Badge A brass cap badge for The Leicestershire Yeomanry with a slider fastening (marked J.R. Gaunt London). KK1424. Leicestershire Yeomanry Cap Badge

Leinster Regt Officer\'s Helmet Plate A rare, Victorian, silver and (slightly faded) gilt helmet plate for an officer of The Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians) with three lug fastenings (north, east and west). KK283.
Note: Kipling & King states the central coronet was changed to gilt after 1900. It describes a black velvet centre, although I am informed this plate\'s red centre was a variation made of Moroccan leather.
I understand the difference in backings date back to the Canadian and Indian traditions of the regiment. Leinster Regt Officer\'s Shoulder Title A scarce, brass, shoulder title for The Leinster Regiment with two hexagonal lug fastenings (east and west). Some verdigris to the rear. Westlake 1420.
Note: Westlake states this pattern was worn by officers of the regiment.

Note: This is the small-sized badge (30mm x 30mm), also worn as a collar (Churchill 326). Lincolnshire Regt Cap Badge A nice, bi-metal, cap badge for The Lincolnshire Regiment with two lug fastenings (east and west), which suggest it to be a Victorian/Edwardian example. KK600. Lincolnshire Regt Officer's WBC
A nice silver and gilt waist-belt clasp for an officer of The Lincolnshire Regiment, with matching benchmarks (1). Ryan 174. Lincolnshire Regt Officer\'s WBC A nice silver and gilt waist-belt clasp for an officer of The Lincolnshire Regiment. Some fading to the gilt on the clasp ends. Ryan 174.
Note: One side has a benchmark (11) but there appears to be no benchmark on the other side, which suggests this may be a later 'marriage' of pieces. Lincolnshire Regt Plastic Cap Badge

The reverse is marked for Hobson & Sons, Lexington St, London. As KK224.
Note: This looks to be a conversion from a Victorian plate - often carried out around 1902, as officer\'s were required to buy their own helmet plates.
The combination of the converted crown and blank scroll sphinx is intriguing - the territorial battalions came into force in 1908 and were not entitled to use the Egypt battle honour.
Perhaps this was an earlier militia officer\'s helmet plate or perhaps the centre is also a later addition? Lincs Regt OSD Cap Badge A cast, officer\'s service dress, bronzed cap badge for The Lincolnshire Regiment with two blade fastenings (east and west). As KK1957.

Also worn by the Royal Scottish Reserve Regiment. KK1131. London Scottish Shoulder Title An interesting, brass, shoulder title for the 14th battalion of The London Regiment (London Scottish) with two lug fastenings (east and west). Westlake 1528.
Note: The rear of the title is (partially) marked for F Narnborough, Maker (?), Birmingham.
Ray Westlake, in his book on Collecting Metal Shoulder Titles, states this title was introduced in 1915. London Scottish Shoulder Titles

Norman Litchfield\'s book on The Militia Artillery 1852-1909 shows a similar helmet plate for The Scottish Division (Militia) dated to 1882-89.
The book states the blue cloth helmet plate was authorised for wear by artillery officers after 1880. I believe this was a short-lived helmet plate worn just prior to the militia artillery reorganisation of 1882 (when the South East of Scotland Artillery became part of the Scottish Division).

Note: I believe the green felt backing is a later addition. SLI (Vols) FS Cap Badge A scarce, white metal, field-service cap badge for a volunteer battalion of The Somerset Light Infantry with two lug fastenings (east and west). As Churchill 411.

Martin Esq, 'The Universal Helmet Plate 1878-1914', it states that the helmet plate centre (Fig. 411), 'was formerly worn as a collar badge'". Churchill adds: "No documentary or photographic evidence has been located that confirms this statement."
That said, in the late Victorian period it was common for British infantry regiments to wear the badge used as the centre of the helmet plate as an early cap badge (in brass) and for the volunteers to mirror this badge in white metal.

SLI Officer\'s Collar Badges A scarce pair of silver collar badges for an officer of The Somerset Light Infantry, each with a single lug fastening. Churchill 429?
Note: If I understand correctly, Churchill suggests these were worn by officer of the 1st battalion TA on Nos. 1 and 3 dress, sealed 9th October 1956. SLI Officer\'s Helmet Plate A nice. post-1902, silver and gilt helmet plate for an officer of The Somersetshire Light Infantry with three lug fastenings (north, east and west). As KK228.
