Tan liner, gray visor trim, no interior plate, M91 post mounted over a scale half...and it's an officer's helmet that just needs a few common parts to make it worth 2 thousand bucks. Surely the seller is misinformed.

Oh my!

Yes, only officers wore helmets with the chin strap lugs OVER the scales. #-o

O dear Lets hope that the seller is indeed misinformed and I am afraid that there will be a buyer who is willing to pay an afwul lot of money for it.

Check out the additions to the auction.
The seller has heard that the helmet is for a OYV...so now it's worth a thousand bucks, not two. #-o

This is why. If a person struts around calling himself an expert, get your advice elsewhere.

I've gotten a couple emails from WW1 experts...

A lovely example of bogus capitalism at its best. Well more specifically, human greed at its best. Pathetic really.
