Welcome!

If you bought it with the intent to sell, but might not, because it's cool.... well, all I can say is, you have a super helmet there and welcome to the club! It's a fascinating hobby. So, congratulations!

A nice looking helmet, Alan!

What a nice example! Thanks for sharing the photos. It's another I've not been able to find. Ron

Not I, although I do enjoy restoration projects.

My thoughts exactly. No other markings that I could see either...

Well, here's a fixer-upper...

Excellent helmet! Thanks for posting.

An excellent example. Good luck with the sale!

The price it ended up at isn't too bad for that one.

Two or more who want that Mecklenburg for their collection perhaps. Looks like most of the gilding and silvering is gone. We'll have to see where this ends up... Just a grand more and they could've bought a nice one from Weitze.

My favorites! Nice find. :)

This is what I'm seeing... sword????? on the left of the photo, indents in the center (squiggle crossed out, disregard) and the shadow of the Wappen? Of course, I could be well off base. Let's wait for others to offer opinions.

Pretty hard to say without the visor. If all of the 'arms' of the cross base imprint are equal, then it's most likely Hessen, or a Beamte of some sort. The 'shadow' from the Wappen looks more like Wurttemberg or Bavaria to me, but it's hard to tell. Even looks like the shadow of a sword on the...

Here's another... from Rhineland, looks like post WWI without a crown, orb or scepter? Kofferhelm type with removable spike. I've seen a couple of these with the same wappen and crest. Wouldn't the horse on the crest in Rkinkade's be Westphalia, now linked with Rhineland? Cheers! Ron

Oh gosh.... yes. M'bad. I hope he will be back.

Well done, Brian! Love the Bavarian reservist wappen. Cheers!
