Dear All,
A recent one, this time a Saxon ersatz pickelhaube made of cardboard and vulkanfiber !
Not an usual one to find, especially in good condition and complete. No apparent modifications and original ersatz liner made of some kind of oiled cloth material, with a velvet feel to its reverse. The interior is as it should be: cardboard painted in a colour intended to imitate the leather normally found on leather helmets.
Both visors are stitched to the body and are made of vulkanfiber, black in and out, like the ones found on EM Prussian vulkanfiber.
Cockades are (although a bit rusty) original non-serrated ones with the typical Saxonian notch to fit onto the side lugs.
An interesting variant and not often encountered.
Best
