Pickelhaube on estand

Guys, I know nothing about these things but something about this one just speaks to me so I've asked the seller to put it on hold whilst I get your opinions. I'm just starting off collecting Imperial items and I think this would be a good addition. Anything I should be concerned about here?

I dunno. for me I think it would leave me wanting more. Better condition. Then you end up spending more money.

Well, I'm going to buy it anyway. Ron, the seller, is a top bloke so I'm sure I'm getting value for money. It's got that killer salty look that I love.

I really like it, and would have snapped it up myself. With your restoration skills, I think that crushed cork could be repaired too!

[BenVK]

Never tried with cork, do I just add wine?

[Arran]

I've restored an Imperial cork helmet before- pm me if you'd like to hear how I did it!

I think it has that lovely dusty musky look to an item that I love , I would have bought it but I am being a bit more selective nowadays ( skint) Rob
