Original German (Prussian) WWI Gray Mounted Enlisted Uhlan Czapska Helmet

A very nice example of a WWI Prussian enlisted Uhlan czapska. It is fully mounted in gray metal. The inside of the crown is marked "55" with "xxxxxxx Berlin". Overall, it is in fine condition, and I just had to polish the black finish on the shell. The front visor has shrunken ever so slightly, so that the metal binding is not as tight as it was when manufactured.

The liner is very supple, and has all of its black leather "fingers" with the drawstring. Original holes for the front plate, and the leather strap for the top toggle is still tucked inside the leather top.

The national kokarde and the single remaining chin strap hook are original to the helmet. The black/white cloth/wood field badge is a reproduction, and I added it after I acquired the helmet.
