This gives 'relic' condition a new dimension

according to a person's cap was found in the attic. But I think the fact that a copy would be "severely" aged. You've got to listen to the advice of experts.

Hallo Andrej

This artillery wreck was on eBay Germany few days ago. Yes, it is authentic and it was made by Breiter of Munchen, who, as you see from the logo, was also a member of the Arwa association with the number 28, and is still in business today. Unfortunately, under these conditions, it has no value, in my opinion, unless it will be exposed in a diorama showing the effects of a carpet bombing, with the shells loaded with moths ...

It is true that in the life it's not nice what is beautiful, but it's nice what everyone likes, but I think that spending a little more you can find quite easily a visor in much better conditions. Only my advice, of course.

Best regards

What is its approximate value?

[enorepap]

30 for the eagle + 10 for the wreath & cockade + 0 for the visor = 40 euro

[HAF]

30 for the eagle + 10 for the wreath & cockade + 0 for the visor = 40 euro

i think on ebay its may bring some money ,i have seen in the past some like that sold for abaut 70-80 euro without insignia,

also chin strap and visor has some value

[enorepap]

Okay guys: I close my valuation at 50 euros, including uninsured shipping costs (but I still believe even overly generous my first assessment because in reality, beyond the historical record, it is a cluster of moths without a material money value) ... and I do not doubt that, unfortunately, we have all seen in many years of collection (in my case + 40) objects destroyed by the man or by the nature in every possible way. The difference is that once they ended up their life in the trash and now on eBay.

What a shame. Hard to find maker too.

NCO, not Officer.
