Think of it from a soldier’s perspective, if you’re rich you buy yorself a new helmet for the reserve and get a plate with no moto. However if you either didn’t want to pay for a new helmet or didn’t have the funds you would just get a jeweler to attach a cross to you service helmet. That’s just...

Well I’m not saying it’s not a good job, it a great job in fact, I’m just conjecturing that you may have restored a fake helmet. And that your hunt to complete the helmet may be in vain.

I believe that this is an officer's helmet for officers in the army, then reissued to the police forces. Note the 4 holes where a standard infantry spike would have been.

Oh ok, I never owned an enlisted man so thank you for the explanation!

Do you guys see the hole underneath the stamp 1915? Is this a bad omen or am I just too untrusting?

Looking good! Can I ask what you used to patch the bald spots?

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news bt I belive that that is a British copy from the 1970s. However, I could be wrong and the other forum members may think differently.

I wanted to ask if anyone had any spots in Arizona for good antique stores. Will be visiting for the first time during Christmas and don't know anything about the place other than it has a really big canyon, Grand even!

Hello everyone, I have been trying to decipher the french dog tags but have not found any sources on how to. Maybe someone could enlighten me?

My apologies I didn't see your first post! I was just looking at ECG signs and stumbled across the article.

Sadly the dome of the helmet is not cooperating and is in a worse state than started. I am officially putting this project to rest and selling the pieces. If you want any of the pieces just pm me and we can work out a deal. I hope the parts can help someone else.
