uumm Jesse
Not seen one like that before. Is that a hole near one of the spikes?
Could shatter..try it on one of Chuck Roelens helmets.
Seriously
Other Gents opinions are needed.

My two Imperial helmets

The cut out is from a member on this thread, "Red Lion". The camo'd one, another member,

My only Great War items on this shelf as I focus on German WWII helmets and U-Boat items...some day a trench club and Pickelhaube for me when I can.

Thanks again "Red Lion". Wanted to show you that she's got an excellent home in Southern California. Love these helmets in general, been into them since I was a very young kid (almosy 30 years ago) and I'm having thoughts of being buried with one on, HAHHAHAAa - Jesse

PS - MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!

Adler 1
You would have one with an original wrist strap! . Do you have the other version with the steel block?
Here,s some of me stuff, the regular e-tool has the handle 'whittled' to fit perfect in the hand for combat and has a knife edge. The long shovel is marked ST.BTL.7 and has the rare board double loop strap.

Beautiful display.
