Hi Guys
Thought you might enjoy seeing this CDV image of a kneeling Infantryman aiming his 88 Commission Rifle with 1871 pattern bayonet affixed. Take a good look at his chinstrap mounting system, its the 1887 pattern with the vertical brass hooks instead of the 1871 style screwposts. However the helmet still retains the brass visor trim instead of the molded leather edging of the 1887 pattern helmet. Use'm till they wear out boys!
and now a volley from the other side....
