I have, over the years strived to acquire only the finest quality helmets I can find (which is difficult searching the United Kingdom from the United States. Like Colin I can trace my initial interest in collecting to my first tour of duty to Germany with the United States Army where I start collecting German Empire helmets. I also acquired my first British Dragoon helmet at this point, returned to the US with my 40 plus collection of German Empire helmets and sold them as a group to a fellow collector and turned my attention exclusively to British cavalry helmets!

David,
It certainly is a wonderful collection. I can only imagine what it will look like in another sixteen years' time. Wonderful stuff. Thanks for sharing with us.
