Dear All, In this period of confinement, I have more time to get pictures of my helmets!! Here is another shako, this time for a guard regiment. Traditional M15 with nice guard front plate painted in grey. It has not been moved anytime recently, as can witness the leather tongs very tightly...

Lovely helmet ! We are thinking of our Italian friends !! Best

Good question Steve. My response is twofold: - if the terms applied to the sale by the British seller are subject to English law then, regardless of where the sale took place, the buyer can rely on English law. Those terms would be the seller’s terms and conditions of sale. - if however...

Regimentals should have a refund policy. If not, the Sales of Goods Act 1979 can help to the extent that, in English law, you can insist for a product to be correct to what it was sold as. If that fails, you still have a claim for misrepresentation under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 ! That...

No worries Alan and thank you for your comments. I guess we all have encountered issues when buying pickels and other items of militaria, whether it is at auctions, from dealers, on Ebay or other places. It is like any other kind of collectables, where there is a market, there is money to make...

Thanks Coert ! Alex

Dear All This is one of my great favourite ! Another ersatz, this time made of cork and covered with cloth. Also known as the Palestinian pickelhaube (not sure there is much truth to that), it is a very light, fragile and flimsy helmet which, I believe is rare to find due to its very fragile...

Talking about Adrian helmets, here is a recent acquisition - a good, although well used, Adrian helmet for an officer of the colonial troops. Nice brownish / mustard colour with the typical croissant badge attributed to colonial forces. Those were heavily involved in the combats of the Western...

Thumb up to the old pot =;

Very impressive, especially with those large mitres. You also seem to have some nice ersatz helmets. Very well-done 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Alex

I do like the idea. I do not do it myself, unless for comparison purposes or to mixe old friends and foes on occasions... Best Alex

Nice helmet, Philippe. Yours seems to have a slightly different variation of liner. Very interesting. Those ersatz haubes are my favorite :thumb up: :thumb up: Please feel free to post more of those weird Saxon helmets. There are so many variations. Best Alex
