2 Christmas helmet gifts

[Bobted]

Nothing special , always wanted a complete French cavalry helmet but am happy with the mounted Gendarme version , just need a larger tricolor plume. And a Kugel slightly battered but untouched and to Anne Frank’s dads unit. Rob

Hi Rob,
If you happen to find someone who makes or has the proper size tricolor plume please let me know I need one as well. Currently I have a red Cuirassier version as a place holder on mine. Thanks in advance , nice finds as well regards John Josef

Great arty.
I found one of the same unit on ebay years ago.
It was in worse shape than yours and I managed to bring it back to life.

Rebuilding a Grenadier Arty

Here is my latest project . When I got it , it was missing the front visor trim both visors were detached from the body and the rear visor was broken in two. The dome was completely collapsed with a 4 inch rip that the ball spike was sagging/ falling into. I didn't think of taking any pics...
