Looks like we have an apprentice from the UK trying to sell his first project.

We must give the Brits credit for creativity.

Maybe these guys could find the Pickelhaube that I have been seeking for so many years.
They are extremely rare and only found in one place in the world --- the North Pole:

I am sure that these jokers could come up with one!!!

What can I say chaps? Seems the UK is full of pickelhaube sheisters please don't judge us all by these fraudsters, what amazes me is the money this crap tends to go for, seriously half an hour on the net or just this site alone would steer them away from this rubbish.

I understand that these helmets were stamped on the inside with "BA Xmas"

They were stamped "BA Xmas" and "NPKR 1", North Pole Kurassier Regiment 1.
Periodically they could be found with an "R" stamp, but this is generally understood to be the Reindeer Equipped Battalion.
