Hi all,
I was looking at potentially buying this pickelhaube from the XVII Armee-Korps Danzig, and while the rest looks good to me the holes for the wappen are throwing me off. It looks like they were punched out multiple times. The chin strap mounts might also be bad, but I am unsure of that as well. It may just be the quality of the pictures that have been provided.
It may have been depot repaired or something of the sort, or it may be fake/altered.
I haven't been able to find another example in which the wappen holes looks like this, so I would appreciate some feedback from some others.
Thanks in advance!
