AN INFANTRY OFFICER`S `BELL-TOPPED` SHAKO AND PLUME, CIRCA 1829-35, of black felted material, decorated with black leather strips and with a black leather crown, the headband of black velvet, lacking chinstrap and scales, plate and all fittings and damaged, the diameter of the crown 11 inches, height 7 inches; the plume of white feathers on a whalebone shaft. This shako is of the pattern worn 1829 to 1844; in 1835 the plume was replaced by a ball tuft, dating this example between 1829 and 1835; it therefore seems most probable that this shako was worn by JRJ Hart as an officer with the Londonderry Legion.
