Titfer alert


Now THIS is a hat.

I have this superb item of miltary headgear stored in the spare bedroom at Derrig Villas. It's the from the British 1858 Lanarkshire Yeomanry Lancers, and what a fine body of men they must have looked trooping into battle, only their faces obscured by the enormous plumes descending from their helmets.

Unfortunately, I am no longer able to display my beautiful shiny helmet in public following a court order in which scaring the horses was cited.
