Hi Nacuaa Thank you for the in depth explanation, I find it very facinating that both of my helmets happen to be in the same war. While I was bidding I had No prior knowledge of the first schleswig war, I have However heard of the 2nd schleswig war. These helmets will be my first entry in to the...
