Prussian field badge is and old copy. Has replica or repainted Reichs cockade, lacks the Prussian field badge. Chinstrap is a modern replacement. Helmet body remains in good condition though slightly deformed as is often the case for these when they have not been supported on a full circumference hat form during long periods of display or storage. Interior shows that the wappen is likely not the first to be on this helmet - it is secured through one of the original grommeted holes, and a slit annex to the other. Black leather liner remains in good condition.
