Great Britain Life Guards Trooper's helmet

[15THPACAV]

I"ve had this helmet for a long time, but i just got around to taking some ( semi) decent photos of it. I acquired in the 1980's , but it has a King's crown, so I presume it was in use pre-1953.

The helmet has a few dings, not surprising given how thin the metal is; perhaps that's to make them more comfortable to wear for long periods.

It seems to me that prices on these have remained rather stagnant over the years. Any other opinions appreciated.http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2014/post-16986-0-20317500-1399554855.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2014/post-16986-0-69372000-1399554888.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2014/post-16986-0-39109700-1399554926.jpg

A very nice helmet. I don't think the 'dings' are that noticeable - but, perhaps the helmet was 'sold out of service'

because of them. King George the 6th died in 1952 - the Queen used the Edward Crown for Her insignia. Mervyn
