Hello specialists for chapkas
What do you think of this chapka. As you know, I'm not a helmet specialist. Hence the question for you. As you can see, the leather is in top condition. The front peak is loose. Attached correctly at the side, but it is loosened at the top. But I don't want to glue it. The stamp is UR5 1913. It's difficult to photograph. I can't read the round stamp.
I hope a positive expertise comes out. if so, I will offer it for sale in the forum after my vacation.
I don't want to offer anything that's wrong

The maker is probably Muhlenfeld & Co, in Barmen (close to Duesseldorf, where UR5 was garrisoned).
 
That is a very nice piece, I always like the issued helmets with regimental stamps the best. 👍
 
I would also be interested, and my opinion is that it is an original ( the outside looks "to good to be true", thus to me at first raising some suspicion, the liner with stamps looks convincing / original).
