Ok, its confession time ! The attached helmet was my first uninformed purchase from E-Bay from an infamous e-bayer from Scotland that was familiar to the old forum......I know, I know !
The question is what is it ? The closest I have been able to see in References are the Upeer Beamte examples c page 466 of Stubbs; see the double holes in the front of the wappen for a missing piece ? The trichter is a repro piece but the remainder looks original. The body appears to be pressed pressed and lacquered felt or even perhaps papier-mache.
Thoughts ?
Sorry for the poor photos; when it gets brighter out here I wll try some outdoor pictures.
Ian.
