Waterloo Bandeau

Before investing this amount of money, I also would want to see the reverse (back) side of the wappen. In these helmets with bandeau, most of the value/price is in the wappen, without this wappen, it is just an ordinary Prussian infantry officer helme. Without bandeau, this is a basic entry level Prussian officer helmet for the collector.
 
Thanks. I've asked for a picture of the reverse of the wappen and also the shell with the wappen removed. Seller said had been added on eBay but couldn't see :-k
 
No additional photos..no cooperation from the seller, this obviously means something is not right here. :thumbsdown:
 
Backside looks ok IMHO, although there is indeed no way to confirm whether this wappen belongs to this helmet. For what it's worth, this seller has been around for a long time on ebay.fr and seems quite reputable.

Regards,

Edwin
