Ersatz Prussian EM Pickelhaube in Filz.
What do you think about the ORIGINALITY? I think is a good copy from england from the 70´s....

I believe that this helmet is good.
I have noticed that on the British copies the vent holes in the spike are generally smaller that the originals and they are rough instead of finished.
Also, the M91 fasteners on the strap end of the British copies are often squared and clunky.
The shape of the helmet is correct. The rivets are correct, the Wappen looks correct (from the front), all-in-all I think it's good.
The only issue I would question is the Prussian Kokarde, and it looks correct, just pristine.

Here's mine:
(The photo is a little misleading. The helmet looks more brown than it is and the chinstrap is a moldy gray on the inside, not black)
