I would urge all members to review the posts we have in our Wappen Section and closely examine the examples shown there. Once you get away from the more common helmets wether they are Prussian, Bavarian etc. and into rarer helmets such as JR 109, 115, 100, 93, 95 etc, much of the value/price is in that special unique helmet plate. The rest of it is just a leather hat with a spike on it. So, pay close attention to that wappen.
