Nice helmet. The hexagonal nuts show late production, from the outbreak of war.

I was watching this one, glad to see it found a good home and at 700 bucks it was a very good score.

Can I ask about your Aviation art in the background?

The one against the wall looks like the markings of the Fokker D.VII 382/18 that Curt Wuestoff had borrowed from Hantelmann when captured as a member of Jasta 15 on Sept 17 1918.

That famous red and blue livery of Jasta 15 with the addition of the skull and crossbones of the 17. Hussars of Hantelmanns plane is etched in my brain being a bit of an Imperial Aviation geek.

Very good price. Congrats

I was just watching it; Rob was the happy purchaser.

Thank you . So I bought an American WW1 ammo box one day, and thought I know I will paint it up. So next thing I bought 8 more and started to paint them in various styles. I wanted to do the lozenge camo but because I am useless at anything artistic I stuck with the more simple skull . Rob
