You are wise to question this helmet.

There is an excellent reference for Württemberg helmets.

A cruciform spike base and a sharp edge visor would be a good start when talking officer helmets from Württemberg.

Silk skullcap machine stitched to the sweatband? In my opinion, it's one of those dreadful modern "handmade" reproductions from the subcontinent.

Those photographic angles are contrived to obscure those details that separate an original from a repro.

Not one for me.

Hi ebeeby

Do you know that Ebay links will disapear some weeks after your post ?

Would you be kind enough to insert pictures in order to keep a memory of the item you are asking for info ? It takes few seconds, less than the time of some people answering your question....

In this way, we are going to read and understand posts long time after the bids are over. Usefull for all.

It is just my opinion

Thank you

Eric - No, I didn't consider that. I will try and figure out how to insert photos in the future. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi

It is not a "direct and agressiv attack". It was just a piece of advise in order to keep all the knowledge for the other collectors
