Very handsome, clean officer Cuirassier helmet. Three small shallow dings near cloverleaf. Inside shows much wear, with an original plain cloth liner for duty use - I’ve seen this type once before. It has a small tear or bit of separation on each side, nothing detractive. Calfskin and velvet linings on the visors. I gave the eagle plate a sudsy ammonia bath to highlight the gilt frosting.
Note: The tail has a little play in the center. I thought I fixed it, but it didn’t hold (thus the low price). Try it yourself. Anyway, the tail is otherwise securely fastened to the helmet. Also, the spike is stuck and won’t come off. Looking inside I see some rust, so I assumed that’s the problem. Best advice: don’t force it. For sale as is, $2,900 w/free shipping
