Hey Jock,

the box looks good!

Can't speak for the cap.

But I don't like the splitpen retaining the spike on the helmet ...

How is the crown on top of the eagles head?

Thanks for the feedback, a couple more pics. Found the small paper lable loose under the lining? The reverse of the chinstrap is like artificial leather, very brittle I don't want to touch it as I think it will break.

The stars look like repro's to me. Bad finish on the edges, looks like casted not stamped.

The eagle should have a pierced crown, and the outline on the helmet showing were the eagle used to sit, doesn't seem to match...

How is the eagle retained to the helmet from the inside, please.

Kriss,

By those grey washers and the split pins? Same for the chin strap, not a very sturdy arramgement?

Found this site looks interesting. Unfortunately no more contact since the loss of his pet dog, I think a lot of us know how that feels, my garden is a pet cemetery!
