It's that seller again! Think of a number and triple it.

It seems there was only Anhaltisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 93.
The center part of the front plate appears to be copper.

Haven't we discussed this seller before? Other haubes offered by this seller seem questionable too

Selling fakes is one thing we are all too familiar with. But selling at exorbitant prices bogus items that never existed in real goes one step beyond, reflecting the deepest ignorance or the most blatant cynicism (or both). I am waiting for the Baden Uhlan Tschapka and Wurtemberg Hussar busby...

Okay, putting myself up for ridicule here, but then, what's new? Other than the repro chinstrap and cockades (look like repaints or repro's), is there anything obviously wrong with this one?

Granted, yes, lack of markings indicates that from this seller this is probably a parts helmet, and I wouldn't be surprised to find the shadow of some other wappen behind the plate) but rather than being disassociated (perhaps), it otherwise looks like a nice helmet... or am I missing something obvious other than his soaking people for shipping and putting out a lot of other GARBAGE.
On the other hand, due to reputation, I wouldn't buy this even if I were looking for one just because of 1) reputation 2) blurry photo of the rear of the helmet 3) shipping... Price is also beyond what I'd want to pay for an unmarked, incomplete helmet.
I guess I answered my own question. :???:
