Jamie770 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Further to my other posts, I thought people might be interested in the Montgomeryshire chained helmet from my collection.This is one of two identical Montgomeryshire helmets I have, both of which were in a very dirty, distressed and 'flattened' condition when I got them. They were found wrapped in newspaper and partly stuck to wallpaper in a cupboard during a house clearance.I think this helmet dates from around circa 1910 and it has an ink handwritten label inside stating "Montgomery PC28 Humphrey" Edited April 1, 2009 by Jamie770 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie770 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 The fittings are brass with a black coating which, when I was cleaning them with warm soapy water, I felt was most likely to be a fairly thin coat of paint.They have come up to present a quite shiney appearance.
