Sachsen Pickelhaube in Traumzustand..?

[Tony without Kaiser]

All vulcan fibre helmets are stitched exactly like the regular leather ones.

Eh? :scratch: Are you talking about a rear seam? Or the visors and side reinforcements? The helmet that started this thread is leather. No doubt in my mind.

Me too. Leather inside without a doubt. But that exterior does look incredibly consistent and fiber-like but surely it's a completely leather shell?

That's why I asked that question in the first place. I couldn't see how it could be Vulkanfiber from the interior shots?

And Von Kluck - is that a shellac run inside on the rear visor where it attaches to the shell? (The black stuff that seems to be present there in the top photo of the second batch you posted?)

OK I am all wet here....first obviously this is a leather shell. Second, regarding vulcan fibre helmets I am refering to the visors. They are stitched on. We also see vulcan fibre visors stitched on to leather shells as well as card board visors stitched on. B
