Description from the seller
WKC - “The Golden Helmet” is a true museum-grade historical piece that, for its time, represented the pride of German technology between the two world wars for its materials, reliability, and technology of great admiration... almost impossible to reach our times and find a piece in these conditions... twenty years of experience, I can guarantee that it has never been touched or disassembled in any way, all component parts are absolutely original as per the catalog and the research conducted. A true steel armored vehicle that you don’t hear at all thanks to the hub “Torpedo” counter-pedal, a world-unique technology that is a clock-like light when pedaling; the photo gives an idea of how it is built inside. Front drum brake also you brush it with your finger and it slows the travel... all components have greasers, straight wheels, the frame has no single problem and is intact, saddle and original bag from the catalog as the lighting group “Bosch” functioning authentic extra-large model that was mounted, enormous wheels corresponding to 29 Italian scale. Excellent display item; it has been part of many cultural events... now it will find a new home. It will be packed and shipped carefully with an insured package to ensure peace of mind for everyone. Have a good auction. It is not an object for Sunday-euro traders; respect for the history and culture it represents, thank you.
