Kevin - from the single picture it appears to be fine. An officers' pattern from towards the end of the 19th C.

If it is all OK, then I would have thought 120pounds upwards ($200) Mervyn

ps Interior and close-ups are always helpful.

It looks a nice piece but,as Mervyn says, pictures are needed to judge condition, authenticity and value. Are you buying or selling?

If it was the real thing and in good nick, I'd reckon £400- 500 upwards. If I could get it for that, I'd be pleased

These look nice.The cavalry helmet looks like 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers), although I'd expect the star and the central device to be white metal.May just be the photo.Which regiment is the OR line infantry to -can't tell as several have the castle device. Is the RA volunteer an officer's or OR's.Any specific unit name?

Looks like you did well -which auction house was it? I hadn't noticed these anywhere. Are you a long-term helmet/headgear collector?

Just in case you haven't seen it I've got a thread in this section, 'British helmets collection' which you may find interesting.
