Originally posted by RoyAPeter, I've seen the odd Pelzmütze box for sale, but this is the only Tschapka box I've ever seen.
Did the Germans always use leather cases for their helmets?
I just bought, but haven't gotten yet, a British Foreign Service Helmet from the Boer War, and it has the metal storage/transport tin. Tin seems to have been the British method for their Home Service Helmets too.
Just trying to figure out what countries used what. I believe the Americans used leather cases.

Originally posted by Tony & KaiserI do not think I have ever seen a Pickelhaube case of any sort that was covered in actual leather. They are cardboard, covered in leatherette. Actual leather; never seen one. And can you imagune the expense? Why would it be covered in leather? Its just a storage box, not meant to be water-proof. T
