This helmet/post relates to a filz helme recently purchased by one of our European members and like his, it has some unique characteristics.
I have owned this helmet for 20+years and have never cleaned the fittings. Consequently the nickel silver now has a greenish patina to it.
No metal spine, instead a feldgrau cloth strip stitched up the back!
On the inside, a leather renforcement strip which extends right up under the spike support disc.
Again, maker,size and date label still present after all these decades.
