Problems:
Modern replacement spike base split brads, the chinscales are not proper for this helmet being fastened on with improper officer style bosses. The proper M91 side posts have been taken off to do this. The ends of the scales where they fasten together and the first few scales are repros. The patina on the new brass does not match the originals. Missing both kokarden. So yes, a complete fabrication of what might have been a Bavarian M95 OR's helme. Do not watse money on this.

The vent shutter on the spine is placed oddly low, too.
The unwary have bid it up to $515.42 with almost two hours to go.
Experience keeps a dear school, as Ben Franklin said.
