Today, the Bavarian ersatz filz helmet I bought from a forum member came in.
It was smudged, and has some cracks in it, but all original.
I started cleaning it, but I am not finished with it yet. I fitted some repro kokarden to it, and a repro chinstrap, as I have no originals.
It has a steel band, to keep it in shape, were the liner stitches are, I never saw that before, but it may be the cause it is still in a good shape.
Here some crappy pictures of it.
I am very happy with it, a nice addition to my collection!
Regards, Coert.
