Just picked up these two recently.
First is a M15 Prussian Dragoon helmet, have not cleaned it up yet, has some type of Laquer on the base plate. Large Black disc on the inside supporting the spike and base.
Second is a Very Light weight Wurttemberg Artillary Officer helmet made out of black lacquered felt which gives it its light weight, I did my best to show a shot of the felt on the inside. I believe the proper German term for this helmet is "Schwartz lacquierte filz helm". The Wappen is awesome and shows much of the Original Gilding, I need to clean up the rest a bit, another weekend project.
Sorry for the crappy photo's, to cold to go outside and get better shots!
