What do you guys think of this 'picklehaben'?
I had a very bad experience with this seller once but doesn't this one look like a good Prussian Guard M1895/brass Ersatz Filzhelm?

So what's the verdict on this one gentlemen?
I'm trying to stick to my Militaria shopping list--which is wartime stuff--but I must say this one's quite tempting... or not? :-k (if it wasn't for my bad experience with the seller, I'd say without hesitation that this one's legit)
 
$851.00 and a couple of days to go yet.
The poor kids who wore these pointy hats would be amazed if they could see what people will pay for them today.
 
Other than the liner obviously having "dry-rot" or "red-rot", it looks to be an un-messed with, legitimate helmet.

All the Best,

Alan
