Hi,
I would like to ask a few questions concerning a Pickelhaube that I am going to look at. It is a Prussian Enlisted Man's Pickelhaube. Is there any way to tell if the Cockades and chinstrap are original? Is there any other details that I should look at before I purchase it? The guy is asking $700 for it. I am going to see if I can negotiate a little but. I know it is hard without photos but I just want something to go by and if I buy it I will post pics. From what I read on this forum they say that cockades and chin straps are faked a lot. Any information will be helpful.
Thanks,
rocky
