silver and gold (gilt) plated helmet badge which sports a silver 8 pointed
Guards star with the cross of St. George and garter containing the famous
motto: "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense" (French for
the expression: "Evil to those who evil thinks") in the centre
which stands out with accents of red enamel.
The helmet is lined with
green leather an black velvet and the chin chin is also faced with black
velvet.
All helmets are the same size: Large (about a Size 8 hat
size - this is the only size).
