Ah yes, now I can confirm what I strained my eyes to see from the e-stand photos:

A fiber body helmet with an oilskin liner. That's what I thought I was seeing on e-stand, but I wasn't 100% certain. Oilskin liners typically were used in these fiber body helmets.

The back visor is fiber board, which is typical on these fiber body helmets.

It's too bad about the condition of the state kokarde. The wear on the white ring of the National kokarde makes it nothing special as well. For as nice as the helmet body is, it makes me wonder if someone added these just to have something on the helmet.

Best Regards,

Alan

Saxon helmets should have non serrated cockades not the type shown.

Thanks for the insight and opinions. Am wondering about the cockcade issue (not challenging, respectfully inquiring) as i see this one with similar ones https://www.weitze.com/militaria/06/...t__345106.html
