Linasl Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hello. I have an opportunity to purchase a helmet which appears to be of Czarist Russia. Can you please take a look at the photos and tell me if you think it is an original period item? Also, any information would be helpful. Sorry, only have these three photos. Thanks.

Bayern Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Yes , the double headed eagle with Saint George on the breast says Imperial Russia . a side photograph wil be most useful . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linasl Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hello. Based on the photo, would you by chance know anything about the helmet - officer/NCO? - regiment? - make? etc? Thanks. Linas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Linasl . Some of the details of the Helmet puzzled me. One the round base for the spike. usually it was cruciform . Two the two buttons and a segment of chain over the front peak . Its incongruent . Three , the ornated reinforcment at the back is rare too. Four ,the absence of the cartouche or amazon shield below de eagle is also rare. Perhaps it is a Civil Servant helmet ,high rank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuka f Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I would leave it where it is. Nothing original to it. Might be a reworked theater prop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
