Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Imperial Prussian Ersatz Felt Pickelhaube1600

Imperial Prussian Ersatz Felt Pickelhaube - This early pickelhaube was brought back to Canada in 1919 by a member of the 19th Canadian Infantry Battalion. It has remained in a trunk until aqcuired by eMedals this week. It has remained untouched since it was brought over to Canada. These felt helmets were issued from September 1914 through January 1915. This excellent example features silvered brass Prussian eagle on the wappenschield holding the sceptor and orb. The felt helmet is in overall excellent condition showing no serious cracking, wear or holes. The pressed felt is in excellent condition having no faults. The leather chinstrap is held in place by two rosettes with original and still bright paint. The spike and metal base are affixed with four metal split pins evident on the interior. The full leather liner is intact. There is a stamp on the rear rim. Simply one of the finest and true examples we have offered.
