Always a pleasure to collect in groupings
Nice to see it in a set
Well done

Nice grouping

Jonas

Simply amazing
What a collection

Jonas

What a remarkable condition its in
that type of helmet wil survive longer than a felt one thats not questionable
Great find

Jonas

That is something to think about
It has depth

Jonas

What a great information on this helmet and its wearer
Nice piece of history
Well done

Slowly heating and pressing onto a mould could help to reshape the helmet should it be needed
Its made of some sort plastic so it can be melted

One thing for sure is i would first try it on something else than a helmet if it would needed to be done

Jonas

These keep there condition great cos of the vulcan fibre

Nice find

A little project nothing to difficult i think
Nothing that can't be done

Good luck

Jonas

The side view is amaizing with that big gardestern mounted on it

Vey very nice helmet congrats ed

Jonas

Judging by the result it was more than wurth to wait for the result
It would never come to my mind to make a display like this
Love it!!!

Jonas

Very nice helmet you got there

Jonas

A pruisian landescocarde a reichscocarde and a strap and its back in its former glory
Those pieces can be found with patience and luck

Spammer

Its a beauty thats for sure
Eyes for quality

Jonas

Not a easy one to find
Even the inner dome is still there
Could we see the entire helmet ,i am curious to see the outside of this one
At first glanse it looks a nice one that you have found

Jonas

Once again spammer

Nice helmet , you nailed it with that rather rare fwr plate on it
Nice patina on the entire helmet ,like them this way

Jonas

Spammer

Think i would have to pay karel a visit to wrinkle this one out of his hands
During the day or rather by night ,ading that one to my collection would be very pleasing

Thats a pretty rare helmet One for on the wish list What i do not understand is how can a single strip of felt and leather make sure to reinforce the helmet the same way as a spine would do The strip of felt they used on this helmet looks very soft to me Could it be possible that they used another s...

Nice looking helmet brian
What are the markings in the rear visor

Jonas

How thus the end of this rifle barrel looks loke where the bayonet is affixed

Witch type exactley are you looking for then can you provide a picture on the specific bayonet you are looking for
I have three types of those early bayonets you might be looking for

Thats one with a very nice feature wel done with this rare bird

Jonas

Internet is still internet ,that is judging a helmet from a distance so you cant see the little details
I also like it more if i can hold a helmet in hand and twist it around a hundered times
I am a hard customer

Always room for another collector ,greetings from belgium

Jonas

The diffrence is already obviously, you 'r getting it in the right direction

Jonas

A trully great project ,good luck

I would be a fan on sutch a book ,just to see al those great closeups on the problems and issues you comme across in restoring any helmet
Even it is great to read al the steps you must go thru to complete a restoration
It would be temendous manual for al upcomming restorers

Jonas

These are indeed very hard to find
Both in a pristine condition

Jonas

Yup that is indeed a nice helmet and with a surprisingley mixture of parts
It has a very nice silk liner inside
Wel done this find

Jonas

Wow those are outstanding straight out of a museum as it looks

Jonas

That is a stunnig piece and sutch a great condition well done

Jonas
