Hello all,
looking for a Lobster-Helmet I found a very unusual Cuirassier-„Ersatz“-Helmet out of felt. Has anybody seen one like this before? It doesn’t look like a fake for me, but I‘ve never seen one like this before. If anybody is interested, it seems to be still for sale...

Hi Sandy,
A famous one indeed... and a good reason to purchase it now: Halloween is approaching!

Thank you for your answer, but my Halloween costume is already set
I am not familiar with „Ersatz“-Helmets and I couldn't find negative posts about the dealer. Also individual parts like the cockades looks plausible to me, that‘s why I was interested in your opinions.

Didn’t we have a thread about a felt Cuirassier helmet a few years ago?
