Victorian 17th Lancers Czapka Płate

A nice, brass, lance-cap plate for The 17th Lancers with two screw fastenings (east and west). As KK723 or Rowe & Carman 97.

Note: David Rowe & William Carman, in their book on Head Dress of the British Lancers 1816- to the Present, describe this as 'pattern E', the second plate with a Victorian crown and the fifth of six patterns described.

The South Africa honour (bottom right) dates this plate to post-1879 and it was replaced by an Edwardian pattern circa 1902.
