    Default Help Needed Imperial Felt Jager Shako

    Hello, I have a helmet that looks very suspect.

    This Felt Shako was purchased on Ebay back in 2000 from a dealer in Heildeberg.
    From what i understand no authentic felt shakos have leather trim on the brim. The makers mark also looks odd.

    I thought I would ask the community for feedback. I know the original buyer payed high dollars for both.

    Thank you in advance.

    Not one that I would be comfortable purchasing. While my experience with these are extremely limited (at best), I too have read that these should not have the leather trim. Chinstrap looks modern and the shell has no air vents (as to whether they all had vents I'm not sure). And it think the Wappen should not be gold, but silver

    A great reference is Kaiser Bunker. Here is a link which shows an original

    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    I would stay from any leather edged Imperial felt piece.
