I'm new here, and am hoping to get some help with identifying a helmet that I bought a year or so ago from a collectors estate.
The helmet was sold as an "1881 British Shako Type Helmet". After taking it home and doing a little research, I could not find any positive matches online, so i put it away. Recently I have been trying again to identify the helmet, and this time, I found this site. I'm hoping someone.. or a group of someones, can help me properly identify it.
I am attaching three photos, and hope they help.
