Hello,
I just purchased a pickelhaube for my son's upcoming birthday and I'm hoping it is legit. I would like to have as much info on it as I can so when I give it to him I can tell him what it is...or...if it's not good, have to look for something else. I am interested in the white writing on the inside back tail. It reads something MAYER or MAYERL or?? There is also some black markings behind the white stamp...the last two look kind of like a "K" and a "2", but it's really tough to see. Also on the tail is a "5C". I have looked and cannot find any information on that. There is a marker stamp inside the helmet that I believe is "Hans Romer". There is also a size stamp inside. Please help with any identification of the markings. I have additional pictures, but sent the ones I thought were the most helpful. Thanks in advance!
