Thank you very much for this identification, it's the first time I've heard of it.This rare and unique ersatzhelm was produceb only by a manufacturer of jewish origin: Hugo Baruch & Cie from Berlin.
At the moment a don't know of any publication that has reviewed this manufacturer. My source is my own archive and the experience of more 40 years of active collecting.Could you please share your source which details this information and Helmet? I'd be very thankful and also interested in seeing and reading it.
I may already have the book but just can't remember. Also, thanks for the link, I also read that Baruch was very involved in the Theater Thanks
Thank you my friend. I appreciated.It's magnificent. Thank you. Mine has been through a lot, but they're the same.
