Pouch belt plate, 2nd (Prince of Wales’s) Devonshire Rifle Volunteers, 1880.
White metal. A frosted Maltese cross with a double border having between the arms four lions passant gardant. At the centre of the cross a frosted circlet with raised edges, at the centre of which is the Prince of Wales’s plumes, coronet and motto. The whole surmounted by a monarchial crown. Three screw fittings on the reverse, one with a nut. There appears to have been a circle of enamel or cloth which fitted behind the central device and is no longer present. This is indicated by a flat tongue of metal partially broken off, upon the reverse.
