peter monahan Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Pavel The helmets are those of the Russian Imperial Guard. There is a little info. at this site: http://www.mannerheim.fi/05_s_ura/e_kaarti.htmHaving said that, and from what little I can see of them in the small photos, they seem to be in "as new" condition, which is odd for items which must be 100 years old at the very least. I notice, for example, what looks like the liner: white canvas or linen. It looks as if it has never been in contact with human hair: no oil, no sweat, no marks at all. Very strange for an antique.As to value, couldn't begin to say but if authentic and capable of being proved so, LOTS of money.My two cents worth.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
