Hi

Can I have your opinion on this:

I have done some research on these mitre and I think it looks good. But I know these have been faked, so I would like to hear your opinions...

Kind Regards
Søren

I think the chinscales may be copies, but otherwise the helmet looks fine...

Thanks a lot

I think the body and the plate are okay. The label is certainly a big plus. I question the chinscales, they look newer than the mitre. Please check out my book on Grenadier Mitres at www.Kaiserhelmets.com. There are a lot of photos of both styles of mitre.
I think the price is a little high for the condition.
Good luck,
Jim

Thanks for the reply

I agree on the price being a little high, so I didn´t bid on it.
