I’m done buying this stuff , but this looks like an interesting lot to me. https://picclick.com/Rare-Museum-Militaria-Antique-Prussian-German-Regiment-Helmet-284702789806.html

Indeed Philippe, but it is a lot harder to mess with leader than with metal. The Garde Reiter is fake and sold as such by Ratisbon.

This is all just my opinion , and I have to judge from pictures only , BUT ; The fact that it is not a lightweight , is one more serene going off to me. You can always tell a fake stepvisor by it’s weight ,the real ones are made from very thin sheet plate, those officers (often royals didn’t...

Also in military collecting , you will find that it is never the stuff of the victor that has the most value, mainly because the winning force kept on existing. But yea … the potato will get physics sooner than most people common sense.

Great picture Tony :giggle: (y) and very nice helmet. The helmets that did not get a second or third coat of camouflage during WWII are getting scares. Collecting third Reich items does not make anyone a Nazi , But I stopped caring about people’s opinions a long time ago.;)
