QVC South Australian Police helmet plate circa 1898-1902

Extremely rare and fine example of a nickel plated Victorian Australian Police helmet plate only worn for about 4 years before the change of Monarch meant that most of these badges were cut up and a kings crown re attached, nice to have the officers number 252 in the centre. Please note that these badges have a cast line fault across them , the only other example of this badge I have seen was the same.
