There is a fourteen day return policy. Unfortunately, if anybody is stupid enough to pay that much for it, they're probably too 'uninformed' to know that it's a very, very poor fake.

It's amazing the seller isn't covered in bad feedback. Surely at least some of the buyers catch on after they get the helmets in hand.
 
Here's its cheaper brother: (or since it's 'die' Pickelhaube, would it be 'sister'?)

"Well beaten", maybe what the seller should be... :wink:

Disgusting. It really gets my goat when sellers try to pass this crap off as original. When I first started collecting I was fooled several times - the money wasn't so much the issue, it was the fact that someone lied to me and cheated me.

Yup, I have one that's only good for a stand under an ueberzug. An original, but a real piece of trash.

All part of the "learning curve" unfortunately. This forum though, should certainly limit the "burnings" providing the collector has the sense to join and ask questions.
