Description from the seller

WKC - "The Golden Helmet" is a true museum-worthy historical piece that, in its day, stood as the pride of German technology between the two world wars for its materials, reliability, and technology of great admiration... almost impossible to find today in such condition... twenty years of experience reassure me that it has never been touched or dismantled in any way; all components are absolutely original as per the catalog and the research done. A real steel armored vehicle that doesn’t feel heavy at all thanks to the hub "Torpedo" counter-pedal technology, unique in the world, which is like a watch—very light to pedal. The photo gives an idea of how it is built on the inside. Front brake pad, also lightly brushed with a finger, slows the travel... all components have greasers, straight wheels, the frame has not a single problem and remains intact, saddle and original pouch as in the catalog, as well as the authentic Bosch lighting group, a true extra-large model that was mounted. Enormous wheels corresponding to 29 Italian scale. Excellent display piece; it has been part of many cultural events... now it will find a new home. It will be carefully packed and shipped with insured packaging so everyone can be at ease. Have a good auction. This is not a cheap Sunday bargain for speculators; respect for the history and culture it represents, thank you.
