What is your opinion on this one?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Casque-A-Pointe-Allemand-WW1-14-18-Pickelhaube-Spike-Helmet/233669515184?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
I am seriously questioning the Wappen. I compare it to my model 1867 and it just doesn't stand up. The detail is lacking, there are holes in the stamping (maybe just super thin brass which I have seen before), and there seems to be some bubbling and pitting.
It has 19 bids, but it is not commanding a high price.
Thoughts?
John
