Grossvater over did the patina a bit.

"see photos of many who say a thousand words" writes the seller...

I dare not say which words...

A fine product from the firm of Quatsch und Blödsinn.

Grandfather did not have a very good eye for quality or authenticity

Best regards,

I disagree! Grandfather evidently 1) lived in India. 2) found the rare small diameter spike base and custom side 'lugs'. 3) was able to keep the liner very nice indeed, considering the crud that formed elsewhere. Maybe a cobra lived in it and kept it nice and clean!

Worth every bit of nothing! A truly (un)valuable helmet!

As will all of ours. But (hopefully) as a selling advantage.
