Pith Hemet and Helmet plate
« on: November 03, 2014, 03:10:18 PM »
Hoping Rattle Snake Jack might be around to answer this one. But I am open to anyone who might have any other info..
  I acquired this what seems to be a late 19th century pith helmet not long ago. I was told that it could date around the same time as the Riel Rebellion (1885). The inside of the helmet reads 'waterproof tropical helmet made in England'. The helmet brass plate looks to have the same design as the 'West Yorkshire' and reads 'Canada Militia' with inner red felt and a beaver in the center.
 Haven't been able to find much info as of yet. Can somebody help a chap out? Thanks
 Cant seem to post a picture yet. But im working on it.
