Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The Household Cavalry is made up of the two most senior regiments in the British Army: the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. It is divided into the Household Cavalry Regiment, stationed at Kiwi Barracks in Wiltshire, and the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, which is garrisoned at Hyde Park Barracks in London.
The soldiers of the Household Cavalry have acted as the monarch’s guardians since 1660. It is also the public face of the British Army both in the UK and abroad. The Household Cavalry Regiment has an active operational role which sees soldiers serve in armored fighting vehicles, handling the nation’s conflicts.
The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment carries out ceremonial duties on state and royal occasions, such as Trooping the Colour. This is the regiment that accompanied the Queen’s coffin at the London parade.
This is an absolutely beautiful, genuine British Life Guards Parade helmet and comes complete with the original leather liner, ringed chin scales and red-dyed genuine horsehair plume. The helmet does show use and long time neglected storage and is in need of a good cleaning.
The chinscales retain their original leather strap although it is very worn and are cracking. The liner is fully retained as well as the integral chinstrap, but they are heavily worn.
