WW1 Imperial German Reuss Officers Picklehaube Spiked Helmet COPY FAKE
DO NOT BUY THIS HELMET. IT IS FAKE. IT WAS PURCHASED FROM DER RITTMEISTER MILITARIA IN NEW PORT RICHEY FLORIDA BY MYSELF. I ADMIT TO BEING GUILTY OF NOT LOOKING AT IT RIGHT AWAY WHEN IT ARRIVED AS I WAS DEALING WITH SOME MEDICAL ISSUES OF MY WIFE AT THE TIME. AFTER SHE PASSED I HAPPENED TO FINALLY TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I HAVE SHOWN THIS HELMET TO SOME ADVANCED COLLECTORS WHO ARE OF THE SAME OPINION THAT IT IS NOT REAL IN THE SLIGHTEST. THIS HAS BEEN PUT ON PICKLEHAUBES DOT COM FOR VERIFICATION ALSO. I TRIED TO RETURN IT TO THEM BUT THEY SAID IT WAS A CONSIGNMENT ITEM AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE A RETURN BUT WOULD PUT IT BACK UP FOR SALE AGAIN ON THE WEBSITE. I HAVE DEALT WITH KEN FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I HAVE ALL THE EMAILS IF YOU WOULD LIKE PROOF OF THERE DISHONESTY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THEM FOR THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AS THEY ARE SELLING FAKES NOW. AT ONE TIME THEY WERE HONEST BUT SINCE SOMEBODY IS NOW A BUSINESS PARTNER I GUESS KEN DOEST CARE ANYMORE. BUYER BEWARE
