Recreation of the Anglian helmet found in 1982 at the Coppergate dig.
The decorated brass strips, which run across from nape to nose and from ear to ear, bore an inscription which can be translated from the Latin as:
In the name of our Lord Jesus the Holy Spirit God the Father and with all we pray. Amen. OSHERE XPI.
Oshere is an Anglo-Saxon personal name and XPI are the first three letters of Christ in Greek. The nasal and the edge of the eyebrows are elaborately decorated with interlaced animal motifs of a very high-quality craftsmanship...The form of the inscriptions and the style of the animal interlace on the Coppergate helmet help to fix its date to around 750–775.

American militia from Geneva Ohio. Date and uniform is not certain. It looks very much like there is some sort of bird on the top of this helmet. I have not seen anything like this so far.
The Sutton Hoo helmet at the British Museum in London, United Kingdom.
The 7th century Anglo-Saxon helmet which was found at a ship burial site at Sutton Hoo is one of the most famous archeological finds from the early Middle Ages.
Some indentify the Sutton Hoo site as the grave of Rædwald, King of the East Angles. Rædwald held a large overlordship in southern England and is named as one of the powerful Bretwaldas in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
My Soviet helmet from the end of WWII or early Cold War/WWII-Cold War Interim. I verified the stamps. Last time the lambskin-and-horsehair liner was changed was 1959. It seems to have been repainted in the 50's.
This Ancient Greek helmet (600BC) was awarded to Sohn Kee-chung, the Korean athlete who won the marathon at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He was a national hero and symbol of hope at a time when Korea was occupied by the Japanese. The Japanese blocked the award of the helmet which he only finally received in 1986. It is now a national treasure.
7th century helmet from the ship burial excavated at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, in spring and summer 1939, just before the outbreak of World War 2. The person buried here is unknown, however, from the artifacts buried with him he must have been an important person in Anglo-Saxon Britain.

Icon Alliance Krazy Klown Helmet It's an extremely common condition usually instigated by a youth spent near carnivals, hobo encampments, or fast food restaurants. Whatever the cause there is no known cure. Some will tell you that clowns are merely actors with facepaint. Wrong. All clowns are evil demonic demons and desire nothing more than to eat you alive - you know, for fun. Those aren't idle ramblings of the Iconic mind, those are facts.

This picture shows the unusual side-by-side treatment of the reserve numbers on the helmet cover. In addition, this is the reserve Regiment always associated, rightly or wrongly, with Braunschweig. This card was sent from a small town just barely outside the border of the state of Braunschweig. It would be tremendous to see what the Wappen looked like under the cover.
