... I have not given making a tournament helm much thought really....but my symbol is a dragon and now you have me thinking what I could do with a visor and that image, interesting, I will have to ponder that and maybe make something when I get some time.

WHOA, first time I've seen this.  This has me thinking...everyone uses Lions...maybe I need to become....

The Dragon Knight.  I like the sound of that!  Damn, that means I'll need new heraldry, CoA, surcoat, shield and helm.  hee hee.

You might want to take a look at the helm crests made by Sir Angus (Jeremy) in this Armour Archive thread.  He casts each crest out of foam filled latex then hand paints them.  They are made specifically for behourd combat (e.g. to be knocked off your helm again and again).  According to this post from February, the dragon heads he cast for the Leeds Royal Armouries can be had for only $65 including S&H! :o

Sir Brian, I forgot to ask:  Are those the large besagues from Merc tailor you're sporting?

Yes! I've had them for over a year but they wouldn't work with my old COA and surcoat and I never got around to including them with my Teutonic kit since I hardly ever wear it.  :)

My apologies Sir William but I left that behind for safe keeping as our transport was pretty well packed. Another time perhaps at MDRF?
