If this is what collector's heaven looks like, I'd love to be there. My jaw dropped and I'm searching for it on the floor.This is a feast for my eyes.

Thank you very much for this information!Now I can attend to the repair with a clear conscience.

I bought this item for restoration, but I don't know why the emblem is covered with leather.

They’ve started listing items on eBay and selling copies on their website. Either they have a new manager, or they’re running low on money.

It’s a simple repair. It all depends on where you live. If you’re in North America, shipping packages to Europe—plus customs duties—isn't cost-effective.

Steve, thank you very much for the kind words. Rescuing items is my passion. Wherever I go, I’m always on the lookout for repair materials. Recently, while visiting Piotr from the forum, I spotted a scarecrow wearing a felt hat. Now I have material to repair more felt helmets.

I am looking for any information about this item.

I also have a pickelhaube cover made using the same technique, i.e., made entirely of cardboard, and the straps are made of ribbon, not leather. I have the impression that they were made for soldiers of lower rank.

Privately purchased Pickelhaube of a senior customs official.

I bought this item from Klaus Emig as a *Tschapka* cover. It fits perfectly, but I have never seen a cardboard box like this before.

Unfortunately, as a result of recent events and the customs war with the EU, all shipments to Poland are being sent back from the USA.Nothing can be done.

Thank you for your kind words.

Final effect.I waited two years for my rear spine, but it was worth it.

Are you talking about rear spine?

Swedish helmets are really beautiful and have nice gilding.
