Another awesome piece for your collection Steve, congratulations!

Quite a challenge, good luck! 👍

Congratulations on a beautiful helmet! Excellent condition. 👍

Those are rare tools! 👍

Welcome Guillaume, great to have you join us! 👍

Leather wedges through the helmet plate loops is the proper method. It is very common to find wire, paper clips, match sticks etc used after 100 years. These hundred year old wedges often break if you try and remove them.

Happy Easter from Canada! 👍

Congratulations Amy, I have never seen one of these with neusilber fittings before. :) 👍

I don't think that it has been mentioned.....the M15 Wurtt. wappen is missing the stag antlers which is typical for this design. If this were mine, I think that I would just accept the condition as is and not remove or correct anything. It is a 120+ year old survivor and lucky to be in this...

Beautiful condition Wojtek !!! Congratulations. :) 👍

A very, very nice piece to have in one's collection! I see the number 2 on the shoulder straps and I wonder if this was a custom detail which could be added for the buyer?? Excellent bronze! 👍

The Italians obviously, are known for their fashion sense of style and leather work. I think we can see that in these items. Another excellent post Zeb!

Great photo....imagine having to wrap each of these helmets and pack them!

Very nice, congratulations! Bambus made the rolled edge felt helmets.

You dodged a bullet here Rock. 😊 You saved yourself $650. It pays to post photos and ask questions here on the forum.
