Hello and Welcome to the Home Page of

 LondonBobbies.com

This site is intended to help out the "Newbie" Collector and to help dispel a few myths and fantasies about British Bobbies and their uniforms. A sort of "Dummies Guide " to  British Bobbies Helmets. I decided, with the assistance and advice of some other very experienced collectors, to do this as a result of seeing some of the so called "Genuine" Items we have seen for Sale on the Internet. which are clearly made up from parts by unscrupulous sellers and traders. Despite mailing them to inform them of their errors they still tried to sell these "items" to unsuspecting collectors.

Also about the types of Helmets worn by different forces, summer and winter, Roses and Rosettes, Batwings and Cockscombs, Ball Tops and Prussians. What helmets were made from Fur and those from Straw or Cork and why officers wear reinforced helmets, as well as the importance of Police Memorabilia and Police collectables as a part of our cultural history no matter where you are from.
