Prussian Cork Helmet

[ussguppy]

Perhaps my favorite helmet I own is this cork ersatz. Cloth covered, with an aluminum backing plate, built in chinstrap, and a giant size. I doubt it could stop a thumbtack or a staple, much less anything else. Probably appropriate for the office environments it was likely used in...

Very nice.
There is one of these for sale on one of the Ebays but in deplorable condition.

 

[John Josef]

Very cool and unique and the condition is certainly there.

 

[J.LeBrasseur]

A rare find in that condition, congrats!

Such a beautiful piece, full of character. The covering, the perfect stitching, the mellow tone of the spike…. Congrats
