costard Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It begs the question - were pith helmets of the Victorian era mass produced to a single formula and standard design, or were they produced in separate and small manufactories using different materials and techniques of craft, giving a variation in the formation's kit (overseas and home)? Thus, it might be deduced that the representation might well be legitimate for a pith helmet in active service in 1879, and therefore qualify in the lending of its silhouette. Kahki was used in the Peninsular War (1808) by the 95th Rifles Regiment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It's not from the painting, its from the photo I linked earlier. That's not to say I am sure it is the right one, but beggars can't be choosers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Here you go I still don't understand what you need a Sith helmet silhouette for, though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
