leigh kitchen Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Imperial, Saxon, Kurasseur (excuse spelling) ? Chinscales worn to the back rather than top the front, I have seen a modern copy of this type of helmet with Saxon plate - a basic check would be to check the composition of any lining to the peaks, the one I saw had these linings removed, leaving traces of a plastic covering with heavy "Evo Stik" type glue.I have no idea if the item that you are showing is genuine but the cockade which appears to be in the Prussian colours of black & white looks like a badly painted modern copy.
