Two shako

[lupo12]

Hello to all. As a first discussion I will want to put these two shako that I have in the collection.
I want to know everything you can tell me about it.

Thanks to all

no idea?

The first Shako you posted looks totally incorrect to me. The front and back visors seem to be replaced with other parts of a pickelhaube visor or something. it looks awkward to me. The chinstrap looks to be not original to this helmet.

The second Shako looks interesting. I don't collect these but this one looks OK to me.

Hope that helped? :???:

Thank you for your help, but I wanted to know as well as originality, something the department or specialty.
