Unfortunately it is a rather indecent attempt to fake a Berkasovo-Type helmet
(I believe this is the style of the one from Duerne, the fancy officer one, but would have to check the name of the town)

I figured that this is a fake, but someone has paid probably 25,000 EURO! :-D
It really looks like Bottle caps. :lol:

First one is certainly fake. A bad combi of a Deurne type with a Yewelled Berkasovo. Think I still fancy my Berkasovo.
As for the second helmet pictured. It's weird, but cool. I still want one of the helmets from Vechten to be reproduced, one day.
