[quote] DESCRIPTION: This is a masterfully carved rendition of the helmet of the Garde du Corps, the elite bodyguard regiment of the German Kaisers. It is spectacular in that it is carved from a material that we are told is mammoth bone. The detailing is nothing short of superb for European carving, and to look at the details of the eagle and especially the feathers, one is taken aback with the amazing work that is akin to the work done by talented masters of centuries gone by. This would be considered a museum-example treasure. It needs a small glass showcase with lighting and should be displayed all by its beautiful lonesome. The is an exceptional piece of Germanic art. <hr></blockquote>

I guess no Luger collection would be complete without it:
