      Thanks for the kind comments guys

      Peter, I've seen the odd Pelzmütze box for sale, but this is the only Tschapka box I've ever seen.

        Roy, Tony, anyone else...
        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.

          Hi Peter,
          The Brits and Canucks favored Japanned Tin helmet boxes (black enamel or lacquer used to produce a durable glossy finish). All the Imperial cases I've seen are leather covered.

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
              Thanks for the clarification.

                Poor terminology on my part...leatherette is absolutely correct.
