A 1916 with quite a Different Twist

[GWA]

This belongs to a friend. He picked it up some time ago in a collection here in Virginia. I've never seen anything like it.

Another shot

[GWA]

And a look at the rear

[GWA]

This is what makes it so damn unusual

[GWA]

Neither the current owner nor I know who did it or when. I would guess in the eighties based on the figures used which I would guess are HO scale

[GWA]

Another view. Note the camo helmet at the top of the photo

[GWA]

And another

[C. Roelens]

I have not used the word "cool" since the 60's... I love it! Someone did a fantastic job, with great attention to detail.

[GWA]

Chuck, my one word response as well when I first spotted it in my friend's basement. "Cool".

[Sergeant 08]

Not everybody will like it....

But no doubt, an invention that I have never seen before!

[gregM]

Not everybody will like it....

But I sure do

[Red_Nek]

Very Artistic! No doubt it's a "one of a kind".

[ROBB]

Fantastic what a great thing to do to a shell ( though no doubt the liner was ripped out and slung in the trash) . Rob

[langemarck]

very original, I like it

what do you think about the name in the back? original to the helmet, or has it something to do with the scale figures?

[GWA]

The name is "Nawrocki" and absolutely original to the helmet.
