Offered for sale is a nice Model 1895 Prussian Guard enlisted pattern helmet.
Helmet has an original set of chinscales and a pair of original NCO kokardes.
Guard Wappen is the older 1891 style with the threaded screwposts, washers, and nuts. The wappen mounting holes are enlarged behind the frontplate, as can be seen in the photos I have posted. Here's a link to an excellent explanation by our member Clovis 57 in the thread I posted when I acquired this helmet earlier this year:
There are no issue markings, or personal ID label inside of the helmet.
There is a bit of loss of finish on the viewer's right side of the front of the helmet, where the chinscale has sat for decades and must have stuck to the finish on the front of the helmet and on the top of the visor area, as seen in my photos.
This helmet will make for a nice addition to any collection.
Price: $1,450 or "Best Offer" plus Postage.
I prefer payment via PayPal "friends and family". Money order or bank wire transfer is ok as well.
USA Postage: $20 for Priority US Mail with Tracking.
Canada Postage: $40 for First Class International Mail with Tracking.
Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom Postage: $50 for First Class International Mail with Tracking.
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore Postage: $55 for First Class International Mail with Tracking.
Thanks,
Alan

I found this a couple of days ago in an antique shop. I also purchased a M15 Prussian Ulan Tschapka with a yellow rabatte, from the same source, which I will post in a separate thread.
I'm guessing that this is a private purchase "extra" helmet, since the underside of the back visor has the nice finish to it and there are no kammerstempel markings visible.
Best Wishes,
Alan
