Hey Everyone,
I have been looking for one of these for years and finally got my hands on it. Fresh in from de-bay. Marked IISB, the painted eagle is so ugly it’s beautiful. It feels increasingly light and fragile. I have seen several photos of these over the years from other old ebay listings, to shots from conventions, but have never seen one with no traditional metal fittings for the chin strap. This one features a strap configuration similar to ones seen on cork “Palestine” Pickelhauben. It did come missing its National Feldzeichen. Thrilled to add it to my collection.
Cheers
Jay
