Hi Guys,
I won this helmet on eBay, and will shoot better pics of it after I receive it. Yes, I paid through the nose for it, but realize they don't come any better than this one. I hope there will be no disappointments with the condition of it when I receive it, as the seller shot pretty decent detailed photos. The fittings still have that mint, unissued condition "powder coated" lighter gray finish on all the trim, which will eventually turn darker color.
I have a mint Saxon style National Kokarde for it already, but will need to find a mint Saxon Kokarde for it, as well as a very nice chinstrap w/gray metal trim to finish the piece off.
I have a Baden e.m. w/no issue markings in it as well, in almost as nice as condition as this one, apparently unworn & probably unissued also, like this one. When I acquired it about 12-years ago, it had this same color "powder" light gray finish on the metal, and it darkened over the years since I've had it. Probably from exposure to the air.
All the Best,
Alan
