O.K. these are not my "Latest Find" per se, but they are my latest finds which I have not been able to identify.
These 2 mitre plates were purchased by me from Norm Flayderman in the early '70's. Other than the obvious - one being a 17th c. British Grenadier mitre plate and the other being a 17th c. Prussian Grenadier mitre plate, Norm was unsuccessful in attributing either plate to any regiment (at least at that time).
In the past 40 years, I have also not been successful in that regard, so I'm requesting any input or advice any of you may have on these 2 items.
Thanks.
