Original Prussian Model 1867/94 Other Ranks Ulanen Tschapka With Partial Cover - Size 58 ½

Original Item: Only One Available. Now this is a fantastic example of an extremely hard to find Tschapka! This is in excellent, near complete condition and is even offered with a partial cover and has a correct cockade on the front side. It does not get any better than this one. The Ulanen...

It looks OK to me too but I will be very careful with this dealer. They are very good in making what sells.
 
This was purchased by them at SOS from a friend of mine, for a much lower price.

They also bought 5 helmets from me at the show, weird deal.

Ok, now I understand who we are dealing with, I was at our tables when that transaction took place, where this guy and his minion roll up with a hotel laundry cart sporting an MG42 poking out of it. The buyers' philosophy was definitely, buy in quantity in order to drive the prices down. Those 5 helmets he bought from James were already for sale on their website that evening. I had never seen such a "weird deal" before! :) James aka "The Big Guy" handled it well though! :D
 
I have seen this guy's website before, he always has pickelhaubes and other imperial german headgear which are often a bit pricey and they seem to sell out quickly... ? ? ?
 
I know these guys, nice people but---. They pay top dollar for stuff and sell for top dollar plus. Their knowledge of Imperial Head gear is very limited and don't always end up with the best stuff.
