The hemet is made by George Evans & Co. If I could get an email from you, I will send a pic of it, any response will be greatly appreciated.

Kept one eye on quality and one eye on the budget. But, if you are going to collect it does not do to stack them one on top of the other; gotta have the shelves. Now you can see it all and enjoy the effort you put into the most extensive pith helmet collection I have ever theen; theriouthly. Uh, sorry about that. But I have a feeling that your DVD collection includes The Four Feathers, Zulu, and of course, Gunga Din. OK, every British/Arab war movie ever made. So when you get a chance you might want to go to Netflix and rent The Party, with Peter Sellers. It starts with the greatest take-off of Gunga Din ever made. Yeah, my wife doesn't understand all of the time I spend in my study with my helmet collection and watching the History Channel. She doesn't understand that part of the process is communing with all of the people who actually wore those helmets through time. And part of it is because she is downstairs watching Desperate Housewives, ER, Boston Legal, and all of those other doctor/lawyer/steamy shows. Oy. Thanks for sharing!
