Silhouette of a 1879 Pith Helmet

It begs the question - were pith helmets of the Victorian era mass produced to a single formula and standard design, or were they produced in separate and small manufactories using different materials and techniques of craft, giving a variation in the formation's kit (overseas and home)? Thus, it might be deduced that the representation might well be legitimate for a pith helmet in active service in 1879, and therefore qualify in the lending of its silhouette.

Kahki was used in the Peninsular War (1808) by the 95th Rifles Regiment.
