IT is an officers shako from a machine gun unit.

That´s it! A rare piece in any condition.

However, sad to see the missing parts and damages (liner, plume, chain, vent-hole). In case of value you should think in a 2000 USD+ range.

Btw, I might be interested in! Feel free and drop me a pm, whenever you want to sell the helmet.

That is indeed a rare piece that is very much desired. It is missing a few parts, and the wappen is unfortunately damaged. However, I think all of the pieces are findable ( is that a word???). When you get done restoring it the value will be many times higher. Very very nice find.
