Here is a section of a display shelf where all the helmets are supported on coffee cans. The aim is to have the visors of the helmet slightly above the shelf, yet all the weight is supported by the can. For headgear with visors that are intregal to the body, this is not an issue. Helmets that fall into this category are Hussar Busbies, steel cavalry helmets such as the Imperial German Kürassier and Jager zu Pferd helmets, metal or tin spiked helmets and felt helmets pressed from one piece.
