Okay, I just took a closer look at the visors and stitching. The front visor is original to the helmet. The rear visor, however, is not. The stitching is completely different and remnants of the old stitches remain visible. I will probably never know when or why it was replaced but it may answer...

I agree about the front visor being different; however, there is no sign of it being restiched and externally it matches the rest of the helmet. I'm a little confused about that part. :? If it is a replacement for some reason, such as a previously damaged visor, then it was very well done.

Thanks for the input, I will take a closer look at the wappen imprint tonight. I considered Baden as a possibility but didn't want to get my hopes up. By the way, beautiful helmet, I can only hope to have one as nice one day. But, I do what I can on my small budget. :)

Hi all, I recently purchased this one on Ebay. It needs virtually everything so I think it will take a couple of years to complete(if I'm lucky). The shell is in decent condition (it looks much better in person) with solid stiching and a complete, although very thin liner. I have several...

That's what I suspected. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hello all, I've been a forum member for about a year, but rarely have anything to post. I need some help identifying a tunic I purchased a couple of years ago. Anything information is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello all, I am new to the forum. I met some of you at the SOS and I appreciate your encouragement to join the group. I'm posting photos of a mantel in my collection. I'd like to know more about it. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks Gus. I'll post some photos this weekend. Abby really enjoyed talking with you guys too. She talked me into buying a compass for her marked "ENG. DEPT. U.S.A. 1918". So I may have a budding collector on my hands.

Gus, Thanks for the warm welcome. I enjoyed meeting all of you at the show. I'm going to plan on joining the party next year. I hope you arrive back home safely. Rich
