It looks good! I have only a doubt for the bag hanging on the belt on the rear side, on the right from the gaz mask canister. For me it seems mor WW2 than WW1. Is it marked?

I had also noticed that it seems that there is an impression from another (prussian?) plate.

I'm agree with the size of the plate... it seems a bit too small. I've also got probems with another helmet who didn't reach the reserve price. I buy it at my highest bid... but never see the helmet! Be careful!

Hello Gus, What do you mean with "kit" (my english is not very good...). I'm only collecting headgears.

Hello Mickey. Not easy to say: pictures are not very neat. National cockade seems to be repainted? What's applied on the inside of the helmet on the spike base? JL LARCADE wrote me one day "never buy an helmet from a rare regiment if there are no regimental markings"... Markings are not always...

The pictures are not very good and very great but when you look at the edges from the mortar board, those from the copys looks cuted and black, those from the helmet on ebay are in felt... as wel as I can see! Now, it's normal that replicas try to look as much as possible on the real one!

Hello. Are you sure it's a replica? I have a felt shapska from U.R. 6 who is stamped from BA XVIII and who, for me, is original... except the linner who is a replacement one. So it's difficult for me to do any comment but all the felt shapska I've seen until now had a linner with rounded...

If it's just the translation that you search, if I don't make mistakes it must be: - bank cheque = chèque bancaire (cheque from your own bank account) - certified cheque = chèque certifié (the bank certified that you have the money on your bank account) - bank money order = mandat bancaire...

I don't know if banks in Belgium have an equivalent to bank draft / bank cheque / certified cheque or bank money order. I've never used such a payment method but I suppose they have. When I have to pay in the States (or in Canada) I always use international postal money order and I don't think...

I don't know how it's working in France or Germany but in Belgium when you have to cash a foreign bank cheque, certified cheque or bank money order you have fees to pay who are around 15% from the amount of the cheque... In Belgium (and also I think in the other european countries) we have...

Without mistake it's not a cuirassier but a dragon helmet and not an officier one. Otherwise it looks good.

James, the chinstrap you show is with iron fittings what looks normal and it's more than probable that Otto Koch Co produce chinstraps during the war. But why are they all dated from 1917? Did someone find a chinstrap produce by Otto Koch Co in 1916 or 1918? Another problem for me is to find...

I have a german flying helmet with, painted in white on the front, "Gott strafe England". It's stamped B.A. XI 1918 and seems original. If sometimes you find a picture from a pilot wearing this kind of helmet thanks to let me know!

What do you think about the following chinstrap? http://cgi.ebay.com/GERMAN-WW1-M1916-HELMET-CHIN-STRAP_W0QQitemZ6612902149QQcategoryZ13965QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I've already see many of them made by "Otto Koch Co - Berlin 1917". A chinstrap from 1917 with brass fitings... for me it's a copy...

I find the solution in the "help" forum. Here are the pictures from the inside of the two helmets.

I've made a mistake... In place to write I have I should have wrote I had... and I had not one but two. I sell some of my felt helmets on ebay more than a year ago because need of money... and I didn't remember exactly wich one I sell... But I have always the pictures from those helmets. The...

I have a felt pickelhaube with rolled edges and this one looks good for me.

THe inside of the helmet looks a bit damaged and the outside is very nice... Is the linner not a replacement one?

Of course it's not easy to say if it's a copy or not. The model is different from those I know... but... What do you really think about it?

My opinion: it's a rebuild item.
