Thanks Bob, it display's really well.
Everything on the Tschapka is in good order, the helmet itself has no issues. So no deformations of the piece itself.
Only the liner is missing, but like you said, you would only know if you picked it up and looked inside.
I guess I had a good deal on it, paid 700 euro for it. Weitze has one for sale, an officer one, missing its liner and
a deformed skull for 2200 euro..

I know officer ones are more expensive, but looking at that one I think I did okay with my OR Tschapka.
There are no marks to be found on it unfortunately. But I didn't use an UV light to check yet.
