I'm having problems posting a picture plus I can't find my post even without the picture. I'll try posting the picture of some of my helmets in my collection.

OK, this time it worked. The helmets are each based on a particular knight that I researched. A lot of them have surcoats and shield to match (which I made)

That's a lot of helms! Looks like a good range of them too; I see early norman style and I think even a roman style one, too.

The second photo was a pretty good size for uploads. The limits on attachments are a little strict, intentionally, as a precaution against people filling up my server or uploading images bigger than the screen. :) You can include bigger pictures by linking them off of a site like flickr or photobucket, and using the forum's "img" tags/button. I know it's a little weird when you're new to forums, but the "bbcode" way of doing it is pretty standard on most forums, so you really only need to learn it once, which helps.

Great collection! It looks pretty diverse, which is always cool. My sword collection has been all over the place as far as styles go. I'm starting to narrow it now.

Photobucket also has a copy/paste section that has the BB code for each uploaded image, too. :)

Thanks...I have more helmets, but haven't gotten the time to add them to that photo. My main target is taking a pictute of the Sir Wm Marshal(l) helmet, surcoat, shield and pendant.
