This seems too good to be true.

At first glance it looks good to me, condition is stunning which is scary, however not impossible, take a look at this Prussian one on Ebay right now, I have no doubts on this one at all, simply one of the best Tin's I have seen.

They both looked nice to me --

The second one is not a Bing. Remember the kit helmet?

I'm beginning to regret buy a JzP helmet now.
The kit helmet is actually more appealing, but the slush fund is depleted now.

Did kit helmets ever come with vented spines that you know of?

Thanks,
Brad

This looks to be a kit helmet also.

I see only one very dark photo. The visor trim seems kinked, but that's about all I can discern. What else is not so good?
Thanks,
Brad

Bavarian lion side posts and chinscales to start with on a Wurttemburg helmet :-P
 
I meant this one with the leather chinstrap

in Germany.

See anything amiss with it, other than the visor?

The photo is very dark.

wow, now we are up to 4 tin ersatz helmets on Ebay at one time, very interesting!

Would need more pictures, then just the one, from the front looks ok?
