It took a while for the bidders to find it, but it's climbing...

Hello,

Sure, climbing.

But i did not understood this :
nd is mounted atop a Pickelhaube-style iron spike base, lacquered black.

It does not look like, and seller sent no photos more.
 
This part didn't make much sense, either:
This listing is for a rare Imperial Russian Tschapka, 8th Ulan Regiment. Helmet for an NCO.

Maybe he cut and pasted parts of an old auction listing when describing this helmet, but accidentally put in some incorrect lines.

Or maybe the buyer will be getting a shock when the box arrives. :?
