Prussian Enlisted Helmet with Camouflage Cover

Prussian Enlisted Helmet with Camouflage Cover

This camouflage cover was likely placed on the helmet by a collector, as we can tell through artifact phrenology that it does not currently mount cockades or a chinstrap, but it is stretched taut to the point of resisting removal, is soiled in all the right places, and just looks GREAT on display.  With that in mind, and  anticipating that removal and replacement would be not only tedious but also risks damage to the cover fabric and helmet rear visor, we decided to simply leave it in place.  It is apparent that the helmet is a decent M15 enlisted issue example with a Prussian wappen, which is attached through the original set of grommeted holes.  Rear visor retains its shape well.  Interior has a good brown leather liner with normal wear along the edges.  If there ever was an issue or maker stamp on the interior rear visor, it is no longer visible.  Spike base and all fittings appear undisturbed.  Cover is plain feldgray cotton fabric without numerals or further distinction; has soil and stains which would make it fit right in for a wartime trench display.
