Same story here and thank you Zebedeus to remind me as I overlooked (or forget) this Bambus-item during the years.As you can see the liner is clearly marked "J.Bambus & Co - Berlin - Petersburgerstr. 77".
Fascinating in my opinion.
There is also signed the name of the ancient owner but unfortunately is difficult to read.
Wow, Marty. In your there is also the year 1915.Same story here and thank you Zebedeus to remind me as I overlooked (or forget) this Bambus-item during the years.

Wonderful spike. Rare and hard to find nowaday.This is an Ersatz Saxon model. Very rare because of its construction. The shell is made of aluminum, but the visor and neck protector are made of leather, and sewn !!! The underside is painted beige, and the top is painted black.

In its uncovered state , i didn't hesitate, given the rarity of this model. I've never seen another like it. The Rekruten-Depot set up during mobilization did not exist in peacetime.
