I'm Almost Tempted

Nothing in my collection is reproduction with the exception of an ocassional M15 chinstrap. But here I am really tempted. I have always wanted one but could never find one that I could trust or afford.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Exact-reproduction-M1843-Prussian-Pickelhaube-/192249795512?hash=item2cc2fb13b8:g:XNMAAOSwuxpZa5Vj" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I won't do it, because repro is just that --- REPRO. But it is nice.

John :)
 
I saw this too....it's pretty damn nice for a repo, especially when mint originals go for $4000-5000 USD.

:-s
 
A great copy. Especially when it's manual work, from beginning to end. I know the master :thumb up: :thumb up:

Sergei1877 Do you know if the maker creates these entirely in leather including the korpus?

Yes . Work from the beginning to the end result. Leather hood is also his work
 
Hello Sergei, I was writing a message to you to inquire if you have information on how I might contact the craftsman who makes the 1842 helmet directly. I believe your e-mail box is full and so my message cannot go through. If you have information you can share, can you empty your box? I understand entirely if you don't. Thank you, John
