1st ( Tynemouth ) Corps Northumberland Rifle Volunteers Shoulder Belt Plate

Worn by officers and sergeants only from 1859 to 1862 when the corps was disbanded. Three original screw posts to the reverse. Originally silver plated but this has been worn away and detail to the three crowns in the centre has been polished. As a result it looks more brassy than perhaps it should, but scarce and in good condition otherwise. Circa 88mm tall and 64mm wide.

Col D. Wood No 355 refers.
