Clone Army Customs new Commander Wolffe helmet with inverted colors. Also added one of their sand blue visors.
Used by European armies in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Thought to have originated in Spain and was worn by soldiers of the Spanish Armada.
This helmet is also associated with soldiers of the English Civil War where they were commonly known as a pike man's pot. Cromwell's New Model Army wore them along with a breastplate and buff coat.
The RPV4000 "Helmet Mobile" is a remotely piloted mobile assault gun, used by the crack Superfans infantry squad to open a Ditka-sized can of whoopass on their enemies. It features a 4-barrel "Jimbo Covert" rotary cannon and a pair of "Gary Fencik" mini-missile launchers.
The entire squad can be seen here.

A duo made for maximum awesomeness. We're releasing our new netted & brim strapped M1 Pot helmet this month!
This type of helmet was worn in the 12th to 13th centuries. This flat top helmet had the added protection of a full face visor. Having added protection meant that vision was poor and wearing it gave poor ventilation .
l have tried this on and to be very honest with you l agree with those observations.
This is my second helmet on my new series Armour helmets through the ages.

I love the quarter dome piece!
I love the pearl gold color!
I love the spartan helmet design from the 300 movie!
That's what comes of it... :)

‘Defund the Police Helmet’ 2020
The imagery and acronyms on this helmet relate to recent Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality
WHAT STARTED THE “COPS EATING DOUGHNUTS” STEREOTYPE
Members of law enforcement stuffing their faces full of doughnuts is one of the most enduring stereotypes about the boys and girls in blue. In virtually every media representation of the police that isn’t deadly serious, the stereotype is played out in some way- Police Academy, The Simpsons, Family Guy, hell, in Wreck-it Ralph the police officers are literally sentient doughnuts. So where and when did this stereotype start?
As to the “when”, that isn’t clear. There are anecdotal accounts supporting the idea that officers commonly frequented doughnut shops as early as the 1950s, and probably further back for reasons we’ll get into shortly, but the general public doesn’t seem to have made the connection at this stage, at least not as far as surviving documented evidence suggests.
As to why doughnut shops were, and to a much lesser extent still are, so popular among the police, the answer is simple. Up until quite recently in history most food establishments, and also the majority of stores, closed fairly early in the evening and stayed closed all night.
There were basically two options for an officer working the graveyard shift who wanted a snack and a cup of fairly good quality coffee- diners and doughnut shops, both of which were regularly frequented by the police.

This stunning Anglo-Saxon helmet at the British Museum is a replica from the one found at the Mound 1, Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, England.The face-mask is the most remarkable feature of the helmet: it has eye-sockets, eyebrows and a nose, which has two small holes cut in it to allow the wearer to breathe freely. The bronze eyebrows are inlaid with silver wire and garnets. Each ends in a gilt-bronze boars-head - a symbol of strength and courage. Placed against the top of the nose, between the eyebrows, is a gilded dragon-head that lies nose to nose with a similar dragon-head placed at the end of the low crest that runs over the cap. The nose, eyebrows and dragon make up a great bird with outstretched wings that flies on the helmet rather like the bird of prey on the shield.
The original helmet was badly damaged when the burial chamber collapsed. By precisely locating the remaining fragments as if in a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, the helmet has been rebuilt.
Fifty years ago, today, Apollo X launched from Cape Canaveral to the moon and Command Module Pilot John Young became the first person to fly solo around the moon.
This is an Apollo bubble helmet used in training, the first I have seen in private hands. The one John Young wore on Apollo 10 is in the Smithsonian.
Apollo 10 came to within 50,000 ft of landing on the surface. But NASA knew they could not let them get so close to the lunar surface without a rogue attempt to go the whole way, so they just provided enough fuel on the Lunar Module to do the "dress rehearsal" mission. Had Apollo 10 taken the LM to the surface, they would not have had the ability to get back. So, NASA sent an under-fueled LM, adding risk to the mission, to make sure they did not make a go for it, with the temptation of being inevitably regarded as heroes if they did.
Gene Cernan laments: "A lot of people thought about the kind of people we were: 'Don't give those guys an opportunity to land, 'cause they might!' So the ascent module, the part we lifted off the lunar surface with, was short-fueled. The fuel tanks weren't full. So had we literally tried to land on the Moon, we couldn't have gotten off."
The Apollo pressure helmet was a transparent bubble designed to attach to the spacesuit neck ring. It was constructed of a polycarbonate shell with a blue (and then red after Apollo 10) anodized aluminum neck ring, a feed port, a vent pad and duct assembly attached to the rear and a valsalva device attached to the inner ring.

These crazy urchins seem to dominate the exposed regions of the mid-intertidal on Kauai. I wasn't really even sure what I was looking at when I first saw them, which is just about my favorite experience outdoors.
Custom helmets I've made with name tag paper, I really like them.

COMMENTS WITH FAVES ARE NECCESSARY!:)
Possibly the WORST fancy dress accessory I've ever purchased.
Buying on-line really does have its risks.
Background: So as usual I'm going to do the London Pride march in July, walking with the National Aids Trust. Their suggestion this year - to make a bit more impact than they usually do is to theme it as 'NAT Army' and get walkers, in their red tshirts, to wear a gladiator / spartan / roman / type helmets.
I'm going to have to re-think my idea. Still it was cheap (clearly) so not a great loss. More research I think.
In 1823 Charles Deane invented a helmet for firefighting to avoid smoke. Not a great success. His brother John trialed it as a diving helmet and the world of commercial diving has never looked back.
This is the original helmet, on loan from the Science Museum to the Diving Museum, and is available for the public to see starting Good Friday.
