Title Last model KuK dragoon officer's helmet
Nationality Austrian
Period c 1910
Price £1000.00

This, perhaps one of the most handsome of all the late period Austrian helmets, is essentially in good shape. However, some of the paintwork has been retouched and the silk lining is missing. The eagle helmet plate has been replaced with a 1st Uhlan officer's plate. The original would have had the full Hapsburg coat of arms on the eagle's chest.

The helmet plate on this piece is actually worth more than the correct one, so whoever buys this and can find the right one is going to be ahead of the game! The last comparable example I had through my hands, I sold for £1,500 (about seven years ago). Admittedly it had its original case!

I collected my iron cross this am from the sorting office. Thank you for the medal; as before it's a very nice one. Thank you for your prompt service and I look forward to purchasing more in the future from you and your wonderful site.
