This was an out of the blue find for me. I had read that the Greek Navy used a sun helmet in the early 20th century and I saw one at the Athens War Museum and never expected to own one. This showed up on eBay of course! it is a wicker helmet and is of the type used by the Greek Navy circa the...

I regret not buying the Berndorfer I had seen at the Show of Shows way back in 2005. But finally this year I found a reasonable one for the collection. No liner but it looks good otherwise.

Payment can be paid via PayPal to [email protected]. I'm pleased to say I've already sold over a dozen copies already and I'll continue this promotion through the end of the year (and probably longer) to help Toys for Tots get a jumpstart on next year's program.

It has been a rough year for many people, and with the Christmas holiday approaching I know many families are still struggling and I wanted to do a bit more to help. The Toys for Tots program is very short on toys this year, so I'm offering a copy of my book A Gallery of Military Headdress for...
