Hello, I have a couple of helmets that look very suspect. The first one on the left was purchased back in 2000 from a questionable Ebay dealer in Maryland. It just looks wrong in every way.
The Felt Shako or second one on the right was also 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.

I recommend you start a new thread for each example in the section linked below for feedback. But from what I can see, they look like modern reproductions. Best to show those with more experience on these Felt examples in their own dedicated threads.
