After purchasing my first set of tropenhelm insignia, I’ve been looking into them a little more. I found this one, which is nicer in condition than the shield that I initially purchased- also, it differs in the kind of prongs attached at the back. After doing some research I found another example with the same prongs that I believe to be original, details match up down to the texturing on the front. My only possible concern is the clean appearance- I understand unissued pieces can appear as such, but I thought it’s worth checking. Is this original? And what would the typical value be of one in this condition? Thanks for looking.
