The other day we were out tearing down our old gate so we could rebuild it and get it to actually open and close without too much trouble.

Some how after I got the bolts out holding the gate up, I got tasked with watching the little girl (Sydney), but she wanted to ride on her little trike, so I went about rummaging through the garage to see what my parents had left when they moved. They dumped gave a lot of stuff to us so they could lighten their load during the move.

Well as I was going through, I found an old helmet that had always been a favorite of mine as a kid. It’s a middle eastern type (I only know this because it has some Arabic writing on it). It has a large spike on top and what looks like two feather holders one on each side. It also has some chain mail to protect the sides and back of the wearer’s neck.
