New Additions to Dragoon Helmet Collection.

[YeoHelmetGuy]

Hello fellow collectors!

I thought I would share the first new addition to my dragoon/cavalry helmet collection for 2023. This troop's helmet to the 3rd (Prince of Wales's) Dragoon Guards comes to me by way of Bosleys and FedEx from the United Kingdom as a Christmas gift from my two daughters who keep a discerning eye on my collection. The helmet is in absolutely lovely condition. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I have also included several pictures of the current entire collection, again I hope all enjoy the images!

Best regards to all

David, a really beautiful helmet. Back in the 60's I traded quite a bit for one and was so proud of it for many happy years. Wish I still had it, but sadly I do not.

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
