Do you think the spike was made by "growing" copper over a wax form?
JR92 said:the bandeau is more uncertain,
I do not think it's uncertain. It's an ill made galvano, pictures let see it.
And I do not think, anybody could show any photos of an original LGR 115 with
such an attachment for the plate.
Spike look like a Dragoon's one, but it's also ezasy to see it's a galvano.
I know this helmet. A french collector made an exchange with a "twister", and sent me some photos.
You can see the whole story on the "Histoire et Militaria" forum, just follow the link I gave above.
And that I give again :
