Steve, Can I PM you? Mike

Sorry, no; Canada. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Good afternoon all, I am looking for an original chinstrap and reichs kokarden to complete a rare helmet in the attached photo. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thank you. Mike B

Thank you everyone for the confirmation on the helmet. I was worried at first, but now feel better about it. On the hunt for a chinstrap and reichs cockade.

Thank you Jonas, all I have to do is find a national korkarden and a chinstrap.

Pics as requested.

Thank you for the quick answer. The color was throwing me off as I have not seen any that black before. Hoping I made a good purchase.

New to forum and looking for some guidance, would there be any erstaz felt 1915 helmets that would have black coloured metal spikes and wappen? In my research I have only been able to find brass and grey coloured metals. Would the black indicate copy or fake? Any help would be appreciated. Mike B
