Looks great. Still very bright Colors. But I know nothing about uniform so a bit more info would be great. :)

Those adrians are really cool and indeed extremely rare to find. Great to see you have the Romanian and the Czech Adrian!

That's indeed a very Fine example. Thanks for showing!

As I don't know the first thing about theseolder British helmets and I've seen quite a few posts recently about them: were they ever worn in combat in some conflict? Or is it more some sort of parade type of headgear?

Oeh, I like those early Kurassier helmets very much! And in great condition!

That's indeed a very nice one! And superbly marked like Coert pointed out. Congratulations.

And here the glengarry from the royal scots fusiliers. A couple of years ago I bought this pre-war dress uniform which also happens to be from the RSF so I think it nicely fits. :)

I mainly collect German and French helmets and bayonets. But I had some British stuff and recently traded a Pickelhaube against an early type Brodie helmet and a glengarry so wanted to share some pictures. In the middle the first rimless type of the brodie which was introduced in 1915. At the...
