Hello, what kind of helmet is this? Looks like a firefighter helmet to me. BR Marc

Hi, I just received this helmet. For me it is a JzP M15. I would like to complete it. What should I do with the shell. Put it in oxalic acid? would this be a good idea or would it attack the brunished shell? Best regards, Marc

Thank you! It could indeed be a M1871. Best regards, Marc

Hello, I have this corpus for quiete a while and I am wondering what model it is. I am only used to 1895 ones. Does anybody know and could tell me? Best regards, Marc

Hi, Indeed, it started with the measurements between the mounting holes. As a sideeffect, it seems that I could learn that some Prussian Wappen are taller than other Prussian Wappens. BR Marc

Hi, I also did some measuring. The Prussian Officer (size 57 1/2) is 11cm. I dont know the size of the M15, but it seems a bigger. Here I measured 11,6 cm BR Marc

This would indeed be interesting!

Hello, thank you very much! I learned a lot! So I will try different Wappen to see. Good Friday to you all. Marc

Hi, Thanks for your replies! There are no stamps or markings inside, unfortunatly. I will try different prussian and baden plates (as soon as I find one) Best regards, Marc

Hi Amy! Thank you! I will try. How can you tell it should be Prussian? (I like to learn😉) Best regards, Marc
