Household Cavalry(pictured)? "The present style of helmet was introduced in 1842 by Prince Albert ( hence known as the Albert helmet )" from: Hoare, Nell; Marsh, Geoffrey; Commission, Great Britain Museums and Galleries (1990).

Thanks for the review
Maury Markowitz. I'm also working on the Albert shako and the Albert bonnet. But yes, plenty of opportunities for new articles in 19th-century British Army headgear! -
