I might sell mine, coming from J.LeBrasseur, a few years ago.
But not sure yet....

Great deal!

You schould!
Go for a brown one, Belgian and Russian had them, and some French, mostly North African regiments.
I'll try to poste what I have asap.

@ Francobritishcollect; Love yours too,btw.

Like it too.

Allways liked them too.
But never had one.

Very nice for Mounted as well I believe... James Thanks James. This is the mounted police, the foot police had the similar helmet, but no tail. I prefere this one. Really nice :bravo: Was a plume worn with the mane? Or what was the little pocket on the side for? Thank you. Yes, it should have a plu...

Last in. Just love these models. https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/11945011.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/11955512.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/11958310.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/11957610.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/11963513.jpg

Great helmet!
(In many ways! ;-) )

Nice indeed.

Amazing!
Great job.

Thank you all!
I am very glad I got the opportunity.

....drool...!! ;-)

Thanks Amy.

Would you happen to have a picture of it, so I know what to look for?

hey Tony, yes ideed; the liner too...
My grail for the HR17 section, would be a nice untouched HR17 busby!

No intention to hack this post just wanted to ad a small story of a amazing find I did recently too. It is no helmet not even militaria realted, (however ...!?). But here is a leather mid 19 th century portofolio I recentely found at a local auction. It is decorated with embroiding, showing a crown,...

I know....he is not the only one waiting to be completed.
I got other helmets of different nations waiting to be completed too, so that makes my chances to find "something" bigger... (lo!!)
....or doesn't it work that way...! ?

Good deal.

Nice item, great story.
Love it.

Thanks!
Can't wait honestly.
I am going to settle with copy's, time being.

@woznotwos, good to see you back on track!

Thanks, me too!
I am looking at repro's on ebay to put on, time being....

hello all, found something to that will do meanwhile I am looking for my grale (....if I ever get it!!....). It isn't the best example, but it still got lots of fur and is well marked on the inside. Saddly missing his insignia's. This are the sellers pic's, I will post more and better once it is in....

Restoring objects is what I was trained for, most important is that the item should be brought back in his original condition (as it was before the restoration).
To me this helmet is ruined.

Leh me know what nuts you want and I can send them to you.

Drop me an email at [email protected]

Thanks!
I'll do so asap.

Wow!

Thanks guy's.
I was planning to get a black one, but doubting about the form.
Does the chinstrat example on my link stands a chance ?

Great helmet!
Sorry to hear about Jaap.
Thanks for your message.

cheers
Kris

Hey Patrick,

I did mention it in my first message, but the link wasn't that clear.
Did you see;
https://repromilitaria.co.uk/ball-tufts-%26-plumes
Can't find the info I need on their website, but what do you think for what you see there.
Does the hairbush, match ?

Thank you also to aicusv and Coert for the reply.
Looking forward to see your helmet, Coert.

That is cool. Did the individual soldiers keep their helmets and have the plate put on after the war was over?

Thanks.
Yes they did.
Not all of course, but it was quite common.
They probably had to buy the plate, and not everyone was able to have their name stamped or engraved on it.

No nameon this one.
On the lookout for the next one

here is the first one of a new (sub)theme I am starting; WWI French Adrian's with the commemorative plate. I know some of the plates are add by collectors in the recent days, but that is something I'll have to deal with. First one in is a complete pionier. https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/r...

Love the presentation!
Can't comment on authenticity, but I like it never the less.

Nice one indeed!
But I am going to stick with mine.

cheers
Kris

Hey Patrick

to bad for the chinstrap.
Thanks for the link!
Keep them coming, need all the help I can get.

Hey Patrick, thanks for your message. I would love to find anything that might suite the helmet. Having one rosette, can help me to copy it in plastic, for the time being in order to present the chinstrap if you find it. I'll have a look at your poste later on. I enjoyed it before, love to see it ag...

Don't know what it is with this helmets, but I think most of them must have been in Antwerp at one time... I remember seeing hunderds of them on shelfs at a well know theatre prop buisiness here in Antwerp. I do regret I never took a picture. That buisiness, called Bayens, moved a few decenia outsid...

Congrats!
Love it.

+1!

Thanks fo the safety recommendations. I am safe ! Must be after all the safe's I got in past days. https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/10735410.jpg [url=https://servimg.com/view/17443368/7827] https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/rimg3640.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/rimg3641.j...

....sometimes there is no animo for one reason or a other, then your glad you did put a reserve on your item...
I am of course talking about reasonable reserves!

I got just informed on a other forum...
Very sad indeed.
My deepest condolences to his love one's.

Met him once, I think it was last year when he came to fetch something he baught, on a very nice Indian.
He will be missed indeed, in many ways.

Very nice indeed!

to all Canadians, here.
...and elswhere ;-)
cheers
Kris

Super!

Very nice, love it too.

Great helmets!
I sadly sold one years ago. One that was a local find, in Ghent...
But I wasn't collecting at taht time, and needed the money.
On my list now.
