raupenhelm sachsen, 1.S.R.R. 5 E

[Providentiae Memor]

I got this raupenhelm today. I think the scale chain with the two fastening screws is not original. What do the experts think about the helmet?

Hello, I'm afraid you're correct.
The chinscale isn't the correct one and the Landeskokarde is mounted on the wrong side.

This is how the chinscale must be

Thank you for showing! I like that M 1867 helmet. I share 2nd. Leibhusar’s point of view. Still a nice helmet.

Just to compare:

I thank you both for confirming my assumption

Still a very nice helmet - and you finally got one, congratulations!
