Private or low NCO, Saxon Model 1897 Reserve Foot Artillery Kugelhelm

hello,

 

I recently got this helmet out of the woodwork.

The helmet is in poor condition, but never messed with. The plate is original to the helmet, no extra holes in the leather helmet body.

Missing his cocardes and chinstrap, the neck flap came lose and the shellac layer is quiet damaged (cracked due to temperature and humidity changes).

But never the less not often seen, and very pleased with it.

Great find!  Do you think tumor can be refurbished at all?    Congrats on a great helmet.
