$1,525.00 for a nice M15 enlisted Prussian helmet unit marked to Regiment 65.

Chinstrap is a repro and the seller pointed this fact out. Both kokardes have repainted white rings on them.

Two people must have desperately wanted this helmet. Wow! Crazy high price!

Where are these bidders when James or I try to sell a helmet on eBay??? They're never there for either of us...

Probably fake bids?

Despite the cockades and the thong I had bid up to 480 $.
Crazy this high price.
I`m still looking for a nice authentic M/15….

They must have been bidding at the Kube Auction too.

It will probably show up again on ebay in a few days when the buyers don't pay because they realized they over bid, or they were fake bids....

Blimey that's nuts. I have one listed here for sale for IR76, better put the price up.

Twice the price of the one I'm selling in our for sale section. If you're going to shell out $1.4K for a grey trimmed EM pickelhaube you should at least get an original chinstrap and good kokarden.

Id think it would be very minty for that price.
