Estate Sale Find.
Photos taken with and without flash.
I could be completely wrong about my description & dating of this Wappen.  Collectors I'm leaving it up to you (since you are Collectors), of knowing exactly what this is termed and what year it is from.
Knowing that the Helmets alone can sell for upwards of ,000-,000, I feel that I have this Wappen priced accordingly.  Collectors missing a Wappen know that this one is priced fairly.  Please don't waste your time or my time trying to tell me its worth nothing and/or make me ridiculous offers.
*Prices at the Post Office have gone up!  Please see comments regarding Shipping Prices below.

Shipping Fee's INSIDE & OUTSIDE USA:
My shipping Fee's are guestimate that reflect a combination of Packaging, Insurance, and eBay Shipping Fee's.
Please know that prices
have gone up at the Post Office AND Insurance is costly + eBay now charges Sellers for charging for shipping and in turn now charges us a fee if we charged you!  So, unfortunately these eBay shipping fee's are built into my price.
Please do not leave me bad Feedback that my shipping prices are too high
.  I am charging you exactly what I am being charged and not inflating it.
If I overcharged you on Shipping, Packaging, and eBay Shipping Fee's, I am happy to refund any overage over .00.
