Here are two more helmets from my collection,
This is a volunteer artillery helmet. It isn’t in great condition and the wear can definitely be seen upon inspection of the helmet. It still retains its original silk liner although half of it has come detached. It is unnamed, has no specific unit markings, and there's even a blank manufacturer's label, my luck.
A 51st Light Infantry green cloth helmet made by Hawkes & Co. It is in good condition with no indication of an owner. There is minor damage to the helmet and the liner is torn in places. There is another set of holes where the plate attaches so it is likely the plate was replaced at some point with the 51st one. Of course there is always the possibility they just miscalculated the measurements and had to cut new holes. Forgive the weird angle it is at, the helmet cannot stand up by itself very well.
