BRITISH/HEIC FINIALS
Up to 1858 the 'finials' adorning the pikestaffs of a stand of British Army (or Honourable East India Company) regimental colours took the form of a hollow gold coloured spear point, with a transverse bar running across the interior space. Each of the pikestaffs was further adorned with two trailing cords of twisted crimson and gold silk with tassels. You will find sets of cast metal finials and cords appropriate to the regimental colours below listed within our 'THEM' range (see THEM 12). This is a good place to mention that we also have cased colours available at THEM 13.
