During my time in the Army I have been fortunate enough to have served with some pretty outstanding units - units that in addition to the requisite shoulder patches and regimental badges have some pretty distinctive headgear as well. As I transitioned here and there I collected a few berets that I am quite proud of and would like to place in position of honor and esteem somewhere in my home or office.
I have seen this done with placing berets on mannequin heads, but this, in my mind, looks too much like the severed heads of your enemies (though I know a guy who keeps an NVA helmet from '68 on a mannequin head, and it works for that... bullet hole and all.)
I don't really know what I want to do with them, just that I want to do SOMETHING with them. I may just end up with an ornamental hat rack where I hang each in a row, but I'm looking for creative ideas here. How do you display your headgear? How WOULD you display your headgear?
