ArchangelDM Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share #26 Posted March 15, 2020 If my eyes arent playing tricks I would say thats a castle that has had the turrets and feet removed. I take it you dont have it in hand? Sure want to see close ups of the insignia on the steel pot. I think you nailed it - helmet came from Luzerne county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
