I know we have had some rather silly purchases, but here is one that I think is rather silly. I present to you another fabled pickelhaube stirnpanzer. I bought it many years ago when I was new to pickelhaubes and I felt like I had come across a gem at the time. I mean, the Gaede helmet was a thing, so why not this? It even has a stamp of "G4", would a fake have that?? Well, as it turns out, they make fakes all the time in Eastern Europe (commonly sold on eBay from Ukraine), but I was not wise to it at the time.
I keep it around because it is a constant reminder to really do the research before buying something. Yes, there are oddities in this field, sure. Is this one of those oddities? Probably not.
I hope this lightens up your day a little!
