leigh kitchen Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The marking is hard to make out, it appears to be an item made in France but sold through an outlet in London. Looks like the garter around the shield includes the words "MANUFACTURE" or similar, & LONDON ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDVR Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yes, I think you are right... ... MANUFACTORY LONDON ... What do you think is it a tropical helmet of the British army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I suspect a private purchase helmet for wear during horse polo, rather than a military item - but an item which would have been de rigeur for officers of some units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
