Saxon Ersatz spike helmet.

[Zugfuehrer]

Hello

I would like your opinion on this helmet.
I remember that a leather reinforcement on the edge of Ersatz spiked helmet could be potentially a red flag.
Thank you for sharing your opinion here.

Hello,

This looks like a typical what is known as a "made in the United Kingdom" felt helmet with a leather edge all the way around the edge of the helmet.

Sometimes they have an area on them that looks like it got wet at some point of time.

We also sometimes see these with bogus ink stamps on the underside of the back visor.

Best Wishes,

Alan
