Ernst Schmidt reproduction Great Helm
I was lucky enough to acquire an
Ernst Schmidt reproduction
Great Helm from the John Higgins Woodman collection auctioned at Thomas Del Mar a few weeks ago. In reading Nathan Robinson's article on Ernst Schmidt and in seeing the photos of the catalog pages, I think the Great Helm purchased is the same as shown on the first page of the catalog, top center. The helm belonged to the Higgins after being acquired in 1929, and was exhibited at a couple of museums over the years.
Does anyone know how I might acquire a copy of the Ernst Schmidt catalog that Nathan referred to in his article "Ernst Schmidt Catalogue and Album of Reproductions of Arms and Armour"?
Comments on the helm? does this look like one of Schmidt's "original" looking reproductions?
