Hello Terry,
Thank you for your kind words!!! Imagine my surprise when I opened it at Christmas and realized it was a gift from my daughters... and I never thought that they paid that much attention to my collection and had such a discriminating eye that would allow them to select and purchase such a quality original piece!
if memory serves me, you still have a couple of French or Belgium cavalry helmets on your display shelves that are quite nice. The British Army though, in terms of military fashion have always had a real flair for uniform-ing it's soldiers and the cavalry in particular, hence my collection! So sorry you no longer have your British dragoon helmet.
I hope all is well with you and yours!
Regards,
David
