There is a saying we all go by, here; "buy the item, not the story!" It doesn't mean a nice item can't come with a great story, but don't let the story guide you. There is a famous picture, of a american magazine (I think Life...) of a youngster selling WWII memorabillia with fake nazi stuff...

I got burned with one like that, sold to me by Malcolm Fisher back in the late seventies. I must have been 17 or 18 years old. It took me a 3 month's pay, back then. I saddly do not have any detailed pictures anymore of the helmet....

Out of the woodwork came this M 15. With some issues....but "untouched" in a certain way... To me it was never used. Only stamped with a date and the size in the dome. (1917 and 58 1/2). No removable spike, silver paint on the wappen, 91 slots of the chinstrap, the back reinforcement and the...
