Spasm Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Gents, I was at a militaria show yesterday and a friend brought along these pickled onion helmets. I've absolutely no idea as to origin, whether they are original and what value-ish they could be, given their condition. He bought from a dealer in France earlier this year to be part of his collection of WW1 stuff. All help greatly appreciated. Here's the first (sorry about the pictures but it was indoors and half way up the Welsh mountains.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It appears to be Bavarian but that is all I can really say. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spasm Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Here's the second one. My mate brought them to me as I've had more relic steel helmets pass me than the Das Reich Division (or so it seems) but I have absolutely no idea if these are worth him keeping on his shelf or whether he needs to have a chat with the dealer when he goes back to France again early next year. I told him I knew some experts so thanks in advance Chaps,,, 7 minutes ago, paul wood said: It appears to be Bavarian but that is all I can really say.

Unfortunately the golden back-bar (?) and the cockades are missing. 2) prussian Ersatz-helmet, made of felt for enlisted men and NCOs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spasm Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Andy Thanks for that, I'll let him know. At least he'll be pleased that they're original. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
