Hi guys. I hope you can help me with this guards helmet. Absolutely not my area. Is it a good one? I only have this photo available at the moment.

Thanks

I agree that it is probably a theatrical or 'pageant' piece. The plume is very crude and I don't believe the 'plate' on the front matches that of any British regiment of horse. The 6th Dragoon Guards [The Carbiniers] wore a very different badge, their helmets were brass or gold coloured and their plume was white. The chin strap looks odd too but the biggest give-away is the way the plume is attached to the helmet. Real examples have a very different 'post' In fact, if you go here, you can see an example of a reproduction 6th Carbinbiers helmet: http://www.militaryheritage.com/helmet3.htm

Intersting find, though. Clearly someone went to a fair bit of trouble to create it and it would be fascinating to know why.

This piece of crap has been on Ebay Germany for a long time.
It's laughably bad.

USCOB,
Thanks much; I cannot seem to figure out how to do that.
