A fake here as well, or a good deal?

Is this a good deal? If so please try to refrain from picking this away from me, I need one badly.

Hi Andrew:

The Tschako is a reproduction. One like it was auctioned by the same seller some time ago and lead to the following analysis:

The pictures are gone, but if you compare the eBay listing with the Model 1895 Preußen Line Jäger Mannschaften Tschako from kaisersbunker, you'll see the military-bargains-uk helmet is an extremely poor copy.

Here is more information on the seller. Allow a few moments for this to load, he has many negative feedback.

In my opinion, not a person to do business with.

Hi Andrew:

You mentioned previously you are fifteen. I find it gratifying to learn a "geezer" hobby can still attract the younger collector. When where you bitten by the bug?

Chas.
 
well, I have always been interested in military history, but not until just recently did I become fascinated with old militaria. I can already tell that it would have been less expensive to take up smoking instead 8-)

NO Andrew,
It would not be less expensive to take up smoking, if you leave smooking and drinking, the money you would have wasted on these vises would build a great collection in a few years, and the value would be greater, but the ciggeretts go up in smoke and the beer turns to something else.
Welcome to the hobby
