Hi- I am not an expert, but IMO the base helmet look good, But from the photos, I can’t tell if the chinstrap or the cockades are original. I think that this one is at the high end for this type of helmet (if I am correct 799.843 US Dollar), there is condition issues with the liner and I under...

I have a M1915 lobster tail helmet ( I think), the question is, is there difference models or was it up to the maker on the shape of the visor and the lobster tail. I have seen up swing visor and one piece lobster tail. My visor is not up swing and the lobster tail is not one piece.
I have picked up a shako , the frontal visor stitching very bad all most totaly off , is there someone who do stitching ( I know that I can't do it) and how much would some thing like that cost?
