PRE WWI AUSTRIAN 1905 PATTERN DRAGOON HELMET.

One of the most attractive cavalry helmets of the late Victorian/early Edwardian era being the 1905 pattern Austrian Dragoon officers helmet. The very thin metallic skull all finished in its original black without any damage, indentations or scratches with its highly impressive fire gilded comb, either side having a raised image of a lion fighting a snake. To the face the double headed FJ1 Austrian double headed eagle plate with its officers chin scales, lion’s head bosses with floriated individual chin scales on their original leather and velvet backing. To the interior the tan leather officers lining with its inner silk tan lining all intact and undamaged. Some minor indentations to the top of the comb. A very difficult helmet to find especially in this condition.
