Re: Wurttemberg M15 wappen
I scored a gray Wurt plate from Age of Kings some years back.
I have not seen any Gray Wurt plates on any of the E-bays for quite a few years now .
A brass Wurt comes up for sale almost every 2 weeks on the e-bays.

Re: What do you think? Prussian Guard
I would say 100% fake
Even the screw to the spike is way to thin.
Eagle and spike are totally fake and the shape of the leather skull is way off.

Hook it up and put a couple of turns on it every week and it may just get to were you need o go.

Re: Restoring Another Felt
No it does not.
You have to come back and sand on top of the glue with course grit sandpaper.
When doing this the blackish area turns whitish and blends in better with the felt back ground.
That is the next step.
