Straight from the estate of a well-known military antique collector which includes over 30 helmets and pickelhaubes from pre-WW1 and WW2 era that will be listed on my page in the near future (pictures available upon request). Anything mentioned herein is simply my uneducated opinion. The condition of this helmet is excellent, showing no signs of trauma or damage. The exterior leather is in great shape with no signs of crazing and minimal wear. The fur is still mostly intact but looks like some of it has fallen out over time which is to be expected from an item this age. The cloth liner shows light wear and some of the stitches have loosened, but it’s still in great condition. The leather chin strap shows some cracking from age but is still solid and fully intact. This particular helmet has quite the history behind it as it belonged to Royal Air Force Bristol fighter pilot squadron leader Alan Thomas Kingston Shipwright. A veteran of the Great War who was shot down behind enemy lines east of Ypres in August 1917, whilst serving with 19 squadron. Taken POW, Shipwright was a persistent escaper and one of the’Holzminden Tunnellers’ – taking part in the largest and most celebrated POW escape of the Great War, July 24/25 1918. His full history can be found by clicking on the following link. This does not appear to be a reproduction but its authenticity cannot be guaranteed. Stand seen in pictures not included.

PATRIOTISKA SÄLISKAPET (FROM THE ROYAL PATRIOTIC SOCIETY). THE SWEDISH PATRIOTIC SOCIETY FOR ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE ARTS, CRAFTS AND THE COUNTRY’S INDUSTRIES WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE MID 18th CENTURY. THE SOCIETY WAS GRANTED ITS ARTICLES AND THE PREFIX “ROYAL” BY KING GUSTAF III IN 1772. THE SOCIETY WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO ISSUE MEDALS IN 1802, AND CONFERRED THE RIGHT TO WEAR THE MEDALS TO THE RECIPIENT. THE SOCIETY WAS A FOCAL POINT FOR PERSONS OF PROMINENCE IN THE FIELDS OF GOVERNMENT, TRADE, SCIENCE, AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY, AND GAVE THE SOCIETY MEMBERS A VENUE TO DISCUSS NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND DISCOVERIES AND THEIR APPLICATION IN THEIR VARIOUS FIELDS. 1950, DEPICTED ON THE MEDAL’S OBVERSE, WAS THE OLDEST AND SECOND-LONGEST REIGNING MONARCH OF SWEDEN. A CONSERVATIVE, HE WAS THE LAST MONARCH TO BE SUPREME HEAD OF THE SWEDISH ARMED FORCES AND TO INTERVENE DIRECTLY IN THE POLITICS OF HIS NATION. ASCENDING TO THE THRONE IN 1907, HE REPLACED LIBERAL PRIME MINISTER KARL STAAF IN 1914. GUSTAF PLACED A FIGUREHEAD, HJALMAR HAMARSKÖLD IN THE POSITION WHO REMAINED IN PLACE THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR. DURING WWI GUSTAF HELD A PRO-GERMAN ANTI-COMMUNIST STANCE, ALTHOUGH OFFICIALLY SWEDEN REMIANED NUETRAL. LIBERALS AND SOCIAL DEMOCRATS SUCCEDED IN FORMING A NEW GOVERNMENT IN 1917 UNDER NILS EDÉN, WHO STRIPPED THE KING OF HIS QUASI-ABSOLUTE POWERS, ENACTED EQUAL SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN, AND TRANSITIONED SWEDEN TO A PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY. THE ROYAL PREROGATIVES CONTINUED TO BE EXERCISED BY GUSTAF V, THE LAST SWEDISH MONARCH TO DO SO, AND THOSE POWERS WERE ULTIMATELY ABOLISHED BY PARLIAMENT IN 1974. GUSTAF WAS POPULAR THROUGHOUT HIS REIGN, AND CONCEDED TO THE PRINICPALS OF PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY AND TO BEING THE FIGUREHEAD OF THE COUNTRY. IN 1943, THE YEAR THIS MEDAL WAS AWARDED, SWEDEN WAS AGAIN NUETRAL IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR. ALTHOUGH GUSTAF URGED THE COALITION GOVERNMENT OF SWEDEN TO GIVE IN TO NAZI GERMANY’S LOGISTICS REQUESTS, HE APPARENTLY DID NOT SUPPORT FACISM OR THE NAZIS, AND TO REFUSE THEM WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY PROVOKED AN INVASION. SWEDEN ALSO SUPPORTED THE DANISH RESISTANCE AND HELPED IN THE RESCUE OF DANISH JEWS FROM GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS. WEIGHT 28.2 GRAMS OF. MEDAL IS 35 MM IN DIAMETER. FROM TOP OF CROWN 50 MM IN LENGTH. FROM SUSPENSION RING 60 MM. PLEASE BE PATIENT AS THIS IS A HARD TIME FOR EVERYONE AND PACKAGES ARE GETTING DELIVERED, JUST NOT IN THE NORMAL TIMEFRAME.
