      Shaun,

      if everything is as you say then you have the helmet in question.

      I was asked if I could identify the helmet and therefore the regiment from the photo. After considerable research and the assistance of those mentioned in the Sources I was able to write the article.

      The badge to the front is a later addition which I removed via Photoshop.

      I have never seen nor handled the helmet.

      Stuart

      A friend in the US was asked to identify the helmet but could not so asked me.

      Thanks but I have enough photos of the helmet.

      There is no way of telling when the badge was added.

      You did not really pay GBP3000 for it did you?
