Farkas Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Hi Gents The pip may hold a clue but I can't date it . I think it belongs here in the imperial forum. Great little (Cavalry?) lobster tail style helmet, great effort by someone. Found luckily, in the bottom of a box of junk from a house clearance. 'plate' - pip chinstrap - bracelet hope you like tony
Trajan Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 No, not copying a pickelhaube, but much more likley to be a copy of a GB Life Guards helmet.

peter monahan Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 A lovely piece of trench art and, as Trajan suggests, modelled on a British heavy cavalry helmet. Thank you for sharing it!
