A recent trade ! I thought it was a neat helmet needs proper cockades and a chin strap ! I ordered repro cockades and chinstrap until I can find originals that won't break the bank .
BAX 1914 on rear visor and name Erdnienger in ink and other writing under that has been lost !
a bit brittle liner but all in all a nice helmet that's named to the soldier !
someone painted cockades and messed them all up ! the green one was painted black as Prussian one I cleaned it with mineral spirits but the white is still coated with repainted white enamel did not want to go to crazy and ruin it ! what state is this ? I don't think its correct for this helmet ?
BAX 1914 I think is Prussian Hannover depot mark ?
not sure why pics are sideways ?
