    Raupenhelm

    Well it’s here. Looks like some real and some fake or later parts. It’s marked 1855 and a name or unit.I can’t pinpoint the cockade though. Just Cool stuff. Not to start looking for parts lol Thoughts?

    Thanks Thomas!!!! Your input is amazing. I visited Nuremberg many times as a Soldier I lived in Mannheim for 6 years. Thanks for your input. I will post more photos when I receive the helmet from Germany :)

    Raupenhelm

    yes, you can tell it was changed. there were a couple holes there along with the side holes. you can tell what it was before it was changed, the chin strap is what confuses me. do you think its off an 1845?

    help please

    i think this is an 1868 Chevaulier that was made into a home guard helm. the lion cockades arent original I know, the chin strap is missing pieces and its missing the side brass ribs as you can see the holes for them. any other input is appreciated. Im quite happy with it regardless but id...

    Raupenhelm

    so I had to get this, likely paid too much but ive always wanted one. Looking for the brass side ribs. my thought is this was a 1868 chevalier turned into a Bavarian home guard at one time in its life. Looking for a couple scales or complete chin strap as well. any thoughts on this as well...

    He is a very hard to work with gent and currently has a fake iron cross on eBay for 499 right now. I paid much much less than that price lol. When I first told him my offer he told me he was insulted lol. I hope I didn’t get shafted but I barely paid 4 figures for helm and case.
