1st VB Suffolk Officer's HP

A rare, silver-plated, helmet plate for an officer of the 1st volunteer battalion of The Suffolk Regiment with three lug fastenings (north, east and west). The reverse is marked for manufacturer J&Co (Jennens). HQ at Ipswich.

Note: This looks to be a conversion from a Victorian plate, which sometimes happened following Queen Victoria’s death, as the officer's had to pay for their own insignia.
