Description from the seller

WKC – “The Golden Helmet” is a true museum-grade historical piece that, at the time, stood as a boast of German technology between the two wars in terms of materials, reliability, and technology to a high degree of admiration... almost impossible to find a piece in these conditions today... with twenty years of experience I can guarantee that it has never been touched or disassembled in any way, all components are absolutely original as per catalog and research conducted. A true steel-armored vehicle that doesn’t feel heavy at all thanks to the “Torpedo” hub and counterpedal – a world-rare technology that is like a watch in how light it is to pedal. The photo gives an idea of how it is built inside. The front drum brake is also touchable with a finger and slows the motion... all components have grease fittings, straight wheels, the frame has not a single problem; intact, saddle and saddlebag original from the catalog, as well as the working authentic extra-large Bosch lighting set that was mounted. Huge wheels corresponding to 29 Italian scale. Excellent display item that has been part of many cultural events... now it will find a new home. It will be carefully packed and shipped with insured delivery so everyone can rest easy. Have a good auction. This is not a item for Sunday euro-flippers; respect for the history and culture it represents, thank you.
