Wow Adler,
Those are fantastic. I really like ersatz helms; thanks for posting these. I have a vulcanfiber EM helmet, but the front and rear rims are riveted on rather than sewn like your paper and glue example.
Thankyou for clarifying these types. I'been told in the past that these were lacquer covered felt shells
with vulcanfibre brims sewn on. I will start keeping my eyes peeled for one of these.
Question: all of these ive seen seem to be marked to the 29th IR. Were these ersatz helmets unique to this Regiment?
