Looking for a Jaeger Zu Pferd

[Peter B]

Looking for a Jaeger Zu Pferd. Anyone have one they might part with?

I have looked around the net but would prefer to buy from a fellow member,

Peter be patient and choose carefully. There are many rusty dented JzP with rotted liners on the market. Take your time and wait for a quality example. One will eventually come up.

Thanks Tony.

So is this helmet a garbage copy or just one of those ones you describe. Liner looks puffy and badge seems like it is not sharp.

I think this is a cuirassier?

Peter, don't burn your fingers on that one !!....Patient,...there are beautifull examples out there ...I've waited 3 years for mine and I'm grateful that I didn't buy junk because I wanted a helmet quickly if needed...

Yes I agree. Will need to be patient in the "hunt" for a "jaeger."

Yes, a wise man once told me to be patient and always buy quality. He always followed this mantra. It's been years but if memory serves, I believe his name was Schnurr !

Any comments on the helmet in the pictures I posted? Curious if it is just a rough original or a "rouch piece of crap copy."

It's a poor over-aged replica Peter.

That's what I thought. Thanks.

Update - I have found one from another forum member.

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions.

Cheers.

The helmet is en route thanks to Dennis (AKA JzPf). It was Dennis’s first Jaeger zu Pferd (what he called his starter) and I am honoured that he has passed it on to me. Not “mint in box” like Tony’s but I love the character. Here are some pictures. I’ll post a couple more when I receive it.

Cheers.

Congratulations Peter, it’s a nice helmet

 

[b.loree]

That is a very nice piece Pete! I really like the liner being in such great condition. So many of these M15’s have rotten/torn liners.
