This one comes from poor Michael Baldwin's collection. It was auctioned a couple of years ago.pickelhauben said:Were did you ever find this beauty ????
Thank you very much.b.loree said:Thanks Zeb, that totally explains why there is no depression in the top of the shell. :thumb up: The condition here is just amazing!
Hi Alex, thank you for your kind appreciations. About the prussian fel with cloth chinstrap, please post some pictures and we can compare the manifacture of the two helmets. I'll do some photos as soon possible and i'll add them here.Francobritishcollect said:Beautiful helmets, indeed. I saw the tschapka at the MB auction about two years ago and held it. If I recall correctly, it did not sell at the auction but went on to sell with Regimentals in the UK. I guess you were the buyer, then :thumb up:
Your Prussian felt with cloth chinstrap is absolutely identical to the one I acquired about 6 months ago. Would love to see if the wappen is attached the same way as mine is (by way of large metal washers in the inside).
The metal Bavarian is by far my favorite! If you ever decide to let it go, please do think of me !! :-" :-"
