Thank you beautifully for all the feedback.The sewing itself took me seventeen hours.Tomorrow I will eliminate small dents.

To say that this pickelhaube has problems is like saying nothing.Skin like reinforced concrete.No leadingbo seam.To make the repair even more difficult, the previous owner covered the leather with glue.Normally a drama,but the price encouraged me to buy.

Brian, working in such conditions is pure bliss! I haven't seen the sun since November and my eyesight is ruined.

Officers Candidate Pickelhaube -it's a poor copy and doesn't have a single original part.

This is the model 1845 you are looking for, and the mustache additionally stabilizes the lion.This is a correct clasp from another manufacturer. Do not hesitate to purchase.

This link you have is for the model from 1845. Both raupenhelm models differ in the way the lions are attached.In the model from 1845, the lions are mounted with a single screw, which is attached to an appropriate oarlock.In the 1868 model, the lion is mounted with wires or screws with nuts.

Unfortunately, to buy cheaply you have to browse websites with offers several times a day.I cleaned the wappen that didn't fit and sold it in Poland for 300 euros. So the total cost of the item was around 200 euros.

You can make two or three helmets from this stuff.

Pay attention to the monogram. Pickelhaube of a customs officer, policeman or fireman. Very nice item.
