NORTHAMPTONSHIRE IMPERIAL YEOMANRY
This newest acquisition and addition to my collection of British dragoon helmets arrived at my home in the United States on 20/2/2024 and brings to an end an almost 20-year search for this extremely rare officer's dragoon helmet to the Northamptonshire Imperial Yeomanry. The helmet was worn from 1902 through 1908 with only approximately 25 to 30 of them produced for the officers of the regiment to be worn in full dress. Other ranks did not wear dragoon helmets in full dress, and none were ever produced or issued, their full-dress uniform was completed with a forage cap. This regiment was unique with its corn flower blue over white horsehair plume that adorned the officer's helmets. Please enjoy the pictures and please feel free to share any comments. Thank you for looking!
Cheers, David |
