What are your opinions concerning this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/casque-a-pointe-pickelhaube-spicke-helmet-schapska/401700358177?hash=item5d87350821:g:vd0AAOSw6CRcVyc3:rk:39
f:0&LH_ItemCondition=4
The curvature of the shell looks correct and the liner looks correct --- but:
The mortar board looks too short or squat.
The Wappen looks to be too small (I know they were smaller than those on a Pickelhaube, but this seems too small).
The front visor is not sewn on correctly. It should be sewn on and folded over. Has anyone seen a Tschapka with a front visor like this?
John :?
