Guy's I recently picked up an older Bavarian OR Train Batl. helmet, not in great shape but first train batl. marked Bavarian I have seen in ages.
Anyway, when I got it, something was strange. Looking at the spike base, I saw something weird, so I took it off the helmet, and it had another weird spike base inside it? Now it fit perfectly inside the cruciform base like it was meant to be, but I have no reason for it and not sure if anyone else ahs seen this before. the helmet is good and there is an impression from the cruciform base in the shell.
the inserted cruciform base has a tube on top with weird holes in it...
thoughts??
