I wonder if the bidder is after what looks like a plated Hessen spike and mismatched base? Maybe there are some good parts?

Okay, Sergei, I think you're kidding??? In the US, there are a lot of this type of shell used for fraternal organizations, bands, etc. (I have one I picked up for fun years ago) They're not worth a whole lot and this helmet just has me scratching and shaking my head, even if it was once a fire helmet, I'm sure it's been extensively 'modified'. :wink:

Sergei, did you just post that bottom photo? I missed it (might be the computer's fault), that's a NICE looking helmet.
