KurtA Posted March 11, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 11, 2017 Pre 1923 based on the helmet and eagle head direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluehawk Posted March 11, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 11, 2017 It seems so small for a shakko plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted March 11, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2017 Yes. A shako plate would be much larger. The one pictured is for the visor cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
