My pleasure! ;-)

No sorry!
Missed the felt part...!

A friend of mine is selling a hulan, missing his top!?

Just sold the few Dutch items I had at the MPO sale.
Don't know if NSB items are on your list too, found a 1942 jaarboek, lately?

Not sure if I saw it yet, but it rings a bell! Incredible story!!
Have to check if I saw it yet... :-)

Hey Francis, thanks! It says Sapeurs Pompiers de la ville d'Anvers. In French. Flemish on Flemish/Belgian governmental services only appeared (far!) after WWI. The transitional period was in the two languages. For example; the Leopold orde (medal) that had his motto only in French before 1952. My gu...

And here is the first type;

A Belgian second type can be seen here;

Still active! ;-)

Schiavona13 is probably right about this helmet being a put together...
Belgian first model cuirassier helmets have all ready being posted on the forum.

Just wanted to start a topic regarding spike helmets (of all nations) you never knew they exited or just simply rare ones. I remember a member posting rare or seldom seen helmets for a quiz, but I guess those pictures are lost too.... Here is my first one. My guess would be detmold lippe firemen ......

Wow!

There is one for sale at;

Could anyone id these WWI guys, please?

Merry Christmas too!

Thanks, Jaap!

Hey Jaap,

...quiet a story ....don't really know what to say...

I hope you'll be able to stay as long as possible.

My man cave is a mix of different cabinets at this time. To much other projects around the house to take care of... So I just bought this over 3 m. long glass cabinet,with that one I am getting close to the original plan I had in mind to display the collection. https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/6...

O MG!!
What a collection.
Good luck on your move.

Very nice!

Nice!

Seems like there have been similar problems at the last Ciney show, over here ...can't remember where I read it....

Forgot to say it is a Belgian cuirassier, first model.
Second type has the big lion head (with no lower jaw)for front plate.

Found this poor chap, who needs a doctor;

OMG!!


meaning; Oh My General!
;-)
Super helmet.

I always go 2 to 3 times up and down a shop, a flea market or any other exposition of items for sale.
Also do change of direction, when starting a new visit; you always missed something!

Or take Gus along when visiting antiques events!;-)

Have fun!

Love it too!

Love it too!

Nice sword!

Love it!

Super!

Love them too!

Love the helmet!
..love your pic's!!

Hey, sorry to read this!
Get well soon.

Thank you all! not sure why you call it "summer" and "M17" but that's probably due to my lack of knowledge Nothing wrong with your knowledge!! Just my interpretation of what I read during my research. I am probably totally wrong, and the reason of my question;"how to describe this cap at his best"...

So would it be correct to state that it is a M17 summer Schirmmütze to a infantry Prussian officer !?
The bottom edging is not quiet white, but seems like a discoloration, due to age. I think it was originally the same color as the top.

hello, I am not that good in cloth headgear, so I could use some help in how to describe this hat for the best. Thanks for your time and expertise. cheers Kris https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/rimg4411.jpg https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/rimg4410.jpg https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/...
