After 36 people donned the Prussian helmet last year, it's time to try and beat that with our new Roman helmet!
The helmet's first outing, at the Recon show last December:

Yep it is indeed :D :D :D
I'd get one for the 2012 shows, but you wouldn't be able to see who was wearing it! I might get one for myself though, just to scare the kids!
Top-notch hat 8)
Suspect it's more likley an offensive weapon under the 1956 Public Order Act.

Nah, that's the chap who was running the Gettysburg game. Igor was there on the first day, but not the second.
And the addition of Erik at Skelp!

Not to worry mate - you look like you're living up to your moniker ;) :P ;D
I resemble that remark! ;)
The Roman helmet has now been retired, but will be making one final appearance at the Pendraken Birthday Bash... ;)
51 Auxiliaries in total donned the helmet over 2012, and we will be replacing it with a new one very soon, so keep an eye out for that!

So long as it's not a tarleton! :D
Quite agree, a nice Russian TANK HELMET perrhappes..... :d

Or an Aztec feathered headdress, ofcourse.
CITES would prevent the Aztec headdress - feathers from rare birds. Also - HEALTH AND SAFETY - allergies.

Or even the Russian winter fur hat, or the Soviet peaked cap with the absurdly high front, both easily obtainable. :-bd
No, we NEED a Samurai helmet! None of this Eurocentric nonsense

And Dave has chosen...

He's obsessed with spiky objects...

Nice helmet, but what purpose did the spike serve?
Ask Michael Caine in the film "The Last Valley", from many,many, years ago!

They took them all off in 1915. Too many trench accidents? :o
Sorry no - too bloody heavy.

I reckon the new helmet is a throwback to Dave's Biker Boys days...
Right turn Clyde :ar!
It's somewhere to put the paid invoices! ;D

You should try on the original stahlhelm - then you can talk about heavy. :-B
