Re: original german helmets/hats/etc
Hi Mike, that is a very nice pith, but I would like to say that its a 1st pattern Heer pith, with green leather trim and chin strap. The eagle on the front is a KM example and might have been added at any time. It is probably period applied, but it would be hard to be certain and I have never seen one with heer shields and a km eagle, though there are many things I've never seen.
A very nice pith either way and thanks for showing it.
