Nice one Fred, I had to sew a liner into my Bavarian, and the rear neck visor had come away exactly in the same place as yours, so that had to be re-sewn. Mine has a leather 1917 dated chin strap, but i,m looking for the side roundel discs denoting the State from where it came, not all that easy to find

Thanks guys,I personally wouldn't want to improve on what it is already,it might not be complete or the prettiest but has that brought back souvenir then forgotten about for 100 years look ,it's not been messed with,yes it's missing bits but that's how it has been for years when you look at it.A good honest untouched bring back IMHO .
