This is my favourite of your collection.
My Great Grandfather served in the 3rd Dragoon Guards, 1895-1914.
Thank you for sharing, a beautiful collection.

Hello Chris,
I was so surprised when I opened the box it was wrapped in... I never considered that my adult daughters paid that much attention to my collection. In their visits back home, they must have taken inventory of the collection and then sprang into action to acquire the 3rd Dragoon Guards helmet!
Like you, I am partial to this helmet too, not just because it was gifted but because I have always liked the 3rd Dragoon Guards distinctive among the Dragoon regiments black over red plume... so unique.
Perhaps this was your Great Grandfathers helmet from his early time in the regiment... one never knows...
Thank you for you very generous complimentary comments about this helmet and the entire collection!
Best regards,
David
