Scarce Cheshire Rifle Volunteers Shoulder Belt Plate.

A scarce white metal shoulder belt plate for the Cheshire Rifle Volunteers. The regiment was formed around 1860 and over the course of 20 years founded numinous battalions from different admin areas. In 1887 the regiment was designated to become the Volunteer battalions of the Cheshire regiment and all various insignia was changed. This shoulder belt plate was worn by an officer from around 1860 to about 1880 and it is in very good used condition, the two threaded posts on the back, have been replaced at some time with lugs. A good rare Victorian badge which measures 4 inches high.
