Helmet finally came in today and has found its new spot. All that's left to do is get a stand for it.

Thank you for saying that; it is my favorite room in the house.What an impressive room for an impressive helmet!
I can see why it is, stunning!Thank you for saying that; it is my favorite room in the house.
I never would have thought to spend that much money on a helmet either, but I am glad I pulled the trigger. I did not know that it was for sale for such a long time but I guess it takes a certain kind of crazy. Luckily my wife liked the helmet too, so I can continue to live in the houseAndreas,
I have been looking at that helmet on Bay State for several years but never wanted to go that deep for a helmet. After my wife saw the monthly cc statement, I would be sleeping with it on my head behind the Salvation Army. LOL
I am glad that this fine-looking helmet has such august room to reside. Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks Tony. I already contacted Bay Militaria about the wrong post. I am going to contact Scott now about the chin scale.Andreas the one that appears to be Tombak has a perfect clean rounded cut-out for the rounded M94 post.
However, the one that appears brass, has what appears to be a crudely ‘enlarged’ V to make it appear rounded.
More concerning as we discussed, that pointed post V does not belong on a Kürassier helmet of any pattern.
I think it's kind of funny that he still has my money and is putting the helmet up for sale again. It could get lost in the mail, or damaged or I may never send it. Anyhow, to be honest I am still struggling with the decision. I think I will drink some good German beer and eat some good German food while I am visiting my Mom and decide what to do.I guess you are returning the helmet as BS has relisted the helmet
