I think there is a picture of one of these helmets in Kraus's The German Army 1914-1918. Girlfriend is sleeping and the book is heavy and loud so can't say for sure right now.
Never doubted it being legit, it looks great I just thought it was an interesting one, with the shell stitching and all. I was curious what you gents had to say. I've never seen this type of ersatz before.
Idiotic. All that helmet is, is a cork Ersatz with replaced leather visors painted black. So all you have to do is put EXTREMELY RARE in your ebay ad, sit back and watch the poorly informed go crazy. The seller must be laughing all the way to the bank.
