What is the maker on the blade It whas often the case that blades and the handle where made by diffrent manufacurers and then factory assembled therefor they had to give it a extra exeptance stamp witch is the case with your bayonet I once found a page on the net that had a hole list of diffrend man...

Stamp on rear visor states
Kriegs Bekleidungs Ambt Garde 1915

Amazing pictures from both you guys, its like eatch picture is telling you just enough to have your mind triggered just wanting to see more of them

Its a great foto collage

Jonas

Have to close in with tony ,not a good one ,sorry

Jonas

With a very wild guess i think its a good one at least thats what my first feeling tels me,could be way of on this one

Jonas

Burned fingers with this one ,and its pretty obvious

Jonas

Thats a nice collection bayonets you got there,wel done

Jonas

If the materials as wel of the sewingthread they used on this cap thus not light up under uv light i would not worry However i whas told when your first feeling tels you its not good you have to decide for your yourself if you can live with the doubts you now have on the kratchen Guess you will find...

There is a ghost wandering on our site

Jonas

I would leave it as is messing with those splitpins is always a risk you do not know if the pins would loosen as wanted or if they break
And even if you get lucky bending them back, squeese thight as it was ,you wil not sucseed in this

Jonas

I have to stay with my first observation then, in my eyes it has never been a schirmutze but regarding to the stiffener it was mearly a little hunch for it i guess

I know its not always the case but in a chirmutze you often find a little metal stifner to give a schirmutze its high form is there in your case any sign of sutch a metal stifner being sewn in between

Jonas

They are indeed but did not find one in al my years of collecting
If i remember well i think i never seen one on a fair here in belgium

Think you nailed it with this beauty

Jonas

Nope not me

Just looking to it ,seems there is a name on the visor as well

Nice one

Jonas

That is a nice raupe ,i had a chance on buying one 5 years ago but never seen one cince then so they are not that common i guess


Jonas

Amazing on finding al that information on that man
Its another great restoration for you
Just hope that the label will not damage to mutch when you are sewing on the visors

Jonas

Very hard to find thats the famous football construction ersatz variant

Well done amy on this one particulary in this condition
Will be hard to find a better one

Jonas

Guess we al should keep pressing that like button
That is a great collection well done

There are still some nice quallity helmets to find
Not just one but a hole bunch of them
Must have been a great show

Jonas

Great finds, guess your pretty happy with them
And what a condition

Jonas

Thats one you don't see every day
I just love those rare ersatz helmets
I have similar one but on mine the fiber visors are sewn on the felt body instead on the use of rivets
You have found one i also would like to ad to the collection

Jonas

A nice helmet even more greater is the fact that you can track down the owner

Great find
