Description
Hello, I would like to sell this spiked helmet from the First World War. It is in fairly good condition. It comes complete with the headband and chin strap. The cockades are present. It is marked with the inscriptions ‘RAX’ and ‘1915’ on the neck guard. Only one fastener on the front plate is missing.

About this category
The other ranks' greatcoat remains the piece most present on the market, ahead of the tunic, the trousers and the headgear. Officers' items, tailored privately at the officer's own expense, vary a great deal from one example to another and follow the regulations loosely. Complete, homogeneous uniforms, where every piece comes from the same man, are rare: most of the groups offered have been reassembled piece by piece, which is not a flaw in itself but must be stated.
