Mr. Stahlhelm, my intention of the post was not to say you are wrong in your assessment, and I am sorry if it was taken that way. Your time taken to give input was appreciated on my end. John

In the last month, 2 very advanced collectors had their hands on this helmet. Both thought it was good, and one offered me trade of about $1200 in items I was purchasing off him in trade for it on the spot. May be I should have traded, as that was doubling my investment. I am possitive the two...

You have a beutifull helmet, and I have the accessorie to go with it. John

Very nice photos and items Neil. Sure wish I had a Dragoon marked Luger or two....John :-"

Adler, thank you for showing us your new prize. That is a super one of a kind helmet any collector would love to have. Does this patern have any particular association with a unit, or time frame? or is this the just particular painters taste? John

No Ron, do not have one. I have been meaning to get one, and that would be a good reason to do so. I will let you know once I do.

Ron, this sellers first name was Aleksandres. I have taken the opinions and remarks of you, Alder, and Stalhelm as collectors with a good knowledge, and I thank you all. As I said, I took a gamble and may have gotten burned. One thing to mention is there are traces of green paint still under...

Blinker, no such statement as to "restored with Friecorps skull" was made in the discription of this helmet. John

Alder, are the ends of those 2 remaining rivits rounded? John

Easy question here. Are all the round end liner rivets fake? OR Are there anything but square ends accepted as real? Thanks, John

some pics. Opinions welcomed. John

Last week I made seller an offer on it that was taken, on a gamble. As Ron said, it looked pretty good. I am a little busy today, and raining here, but will try to get some good pics to let you all decide what you think. I would like to hear from others on this one myself. I am a fairly new...

I do not think we are we talking of the same helmet here? You must be reading a different listing. Ron speaks of a different helmet he once bought from the seller. Discription from helmet in question. ww1 German M-16 camouflage helmet. Totenkopf. Helmet is size 66. Shell have Skull in front...

I got to examine this helmet in hand, and in my honest opinion, it looks very good, original period paint, and liner. I do not believe it was faked, or boosted in any way. John
