huge mortarboard Garde Tschapka

Is this an early model, or has the camera played a trick with perspective?

I could very well be wrong but doesn't that rosette in the last picture look huge also?

Hey Brad,
I believe that you are right that is is a trick of perspective, I would guess that the seller used a 28mm lens to photo this helmet. If you look at the liner photo, the prespective makes the Korpus look almost conical in shape.
