Nice one to ad to any collection

Jonas

Deffinitly a huge copy the guy who makes these is just there to rip people off
For jung starters in the hobby these types are spoiler alert
If you collect or start to collect first thing you do is buy books not one but lots of them
They will become handy one day

Jonas

In geman it states
ERSATZ-BATAILLON DES INFANTERIE REGIMENT
in englsch it means
REPLACEMENT BATTAILION OF AN INFANTRY REGIMENT

Nice faschinenmesser

Jonas

A remarkeble collection you got there,seen a few that i would like
As for the first helmet that started this thread
You cant mis on that marking looks huge if you ask me


Jonas

Very nice one ,seen this one before !!!!
Offered it to a friend of mine but was gone the next day so now i know you have it
Great one if you like those with markings in it

I have seen this type of eagle on a few ersats helmets this was mounted on it with a single screw into the center of the eagle
Seen it on bing helmets as wel on a weisenburger helmet

Maybe its due to the fact they were made in diferent factories that the are diffrent in dimentions or there where no surtan regulations in witch size these had to be made

Great find by the way

Jonas

This is a very nice griffin

Congrats on this one

Jonas

That is a nice bade tshako never seen one only pruisian and sachsen ones are more common to find

Nice one

Interesting link that you have shared here, some of the abbreviations are useble for wo1 so it will deffinitly usefull for other people

Thanks for sharing it with us

Jonas

Just minutes ago had a reply bad server gateway and a meer second later it was back to no problems

Jonas

If you found this one for that price luck was on your side that day
I have never been that lucky

Jonas

You got lucky to find one 50 years ago
Did you get the chanse to see more of those in private collections
These look so cool

Jonas

Under $50 ..... think you wil need a ful lifetime to be able to find your first one... and maybe wil be your last one.... becose you wil get a hart attaque just clarefying the price on it

One on the wish list i dont have would be a few for me but there was one on the baldwin auction

The saxon "football" ersatz helmet
a ersatz IR92
Dragoner m15

One can dream and hope......... once maybe once.....

Jonas

That is a cool model
Never had the chance to see one in real life

Jonas

Thats a nice one and a very clear marking in it
Great find

Jonas

Are there more helmets that have the same feature with that bursting bomb than grenadier regiment zu pferde von derffinger nr 3
Or is this the only regiment that had this kind of previlege
What thus it represent that bursting bomb on those scales

I had placed a bed on three items that i liked but non of them came to me as i was outbid on al of them I was at work so i could only folow an hour of the bidding I saw that to the baden one with its big price Oh well it was fun to see the prices going sky high Non the less congrats with your kit he...

It was me who corrected it
My mistake
I was at work when i noticed that there was a reply to my post with the correct word so i changed it right away
Aicusv dont worry you 're not loosing it..... not yet anyway

I made a little mistake in the tittle i did not now exactly how to write schuppekette 911car corrected me on that so i made the change in the tittle #john you nailed it that is indeed the feature that i was refering to is this legit to this helmet an do you have any idea why this helmet has this fea...

If the feature of that bom onto the schuppenkette is regular to this type of helmet
For me its olso the first time i heard about it about this kind of schuppenkette so i could not provide hem with an answor

A friend of mine is interested in a parade helmet that he whas offered According to wat he told me it should be a dragoner with a black parade plume and a brass schuppenkette But the thing he was wondering about is that the rosettes from the schuppenkette bares a flame on top or it lookes like a bom...

That is a very nice explanation fun to read and wel written olso

Great one joe

Even more than just a 1870 EK its a astonising set you have found

Well done

Ah this is a great oppertiunaty to keep my eyes open ,knowing what to look for if i want to buy a helmet with a plume I collect just feldgraue helmets but i would easely make an exeption for a helmet with a black or white plume on it Dont know why but a red plume is just not my 'thing' Sutch a parad...

They look very nice both of them .its great to know its background becose i would dated them mutch older
Simply becose i know little as nothing about those helmets
Thanks for sharing

I see it this way, share the experience with others that are new or fairly new with the ww1 era that is a must Why keeping the knodledge for yourself if you collect. Sharing information is a way of life not just for us but many generations after us that will follow the footsteps of collecting Jonas

Your first helmet was the better one ,its a shame on this one becose its not a good one as allready was mentiont If you are offered a helmet i think its better to show it here to get some second third and even more opinions on the helmets becose its always a shame you end up with a parts helmet or a...

Its a beauty

My eyes hurt by looking to it
As sergei stated its a very bad fake

Jonas

That is perfectly legit you even can find an officer helmet that has a schubbekette with the same characteristics as seen on the kreutzblatt

As for the hole in the spike damn if he would have been a bit taller ,he would be doing "the long walk'
He was lucky i guess

Welcome here on the forum, whatever information you are looking for this is the right place

Jonas

The first one you have found and you have found very good
One that is made out of kriegs metal and a fiber body
Welcome here on the forum thomas
Seems you got an eye for the good stuff

Jonas

I am not into prices of DD AK helmets but i would find it very sad to have a spike helmet in one hand and the cover in the other hand and stil have to take those two apart , surtanly in this matter since they are full matching They belong together ,they once were and still are Hope for sure you can ...

Better than this????
Full matching helmet and cover are very hard to find
Jackpot amy or as we say it without sound katsing katsjing

Never seen this one at ciney i was there by the early ones by 7 o clock so every one stil had to unpack there stuf
Seems i must have misted this one

I nice one for sure

Masterpieces,both of them

Looks like you need a second cabinet becose this one seems full ,or if you want i saw 2 helmets that i would be pleased to take over from you

Nice helmets you got there

Those helmets look very nice aspecialy the plates are an eyecatcher on both helmets
Wel done amy

Just a miner thing i noticed ,there is some shellac gone on this helmet I was wondering if you just do those little spots will that work for the end result or is it always "if you do one spot you better do the whole helmet" The helmet came out great and i will be curious to see the helmet with its p...

I think i saw this one not sure of it, was it not in the upper hall that the seller was located
Could be a similar to i am not sure
I went also to ciney but gave me a time out at sander van zanten his stand so lost a bit of time from chatting with him

I am not into these helmets but at first glance i cant see anything suspicious on this one
For me it looks legit

Jonas

Becose you are refering to the book of late mr baldwin is this of meaning that its the same helmet as was in the collection of michael baldwin
That is defenitly a great haul if you ask me
Just been checking my books
Well done ...so for you it was a succes

Jonas

That is indeed a great helmet ,well done
You had a good day by the look of it

Never seen sutch a plate in real life but i am sure they are out there maybe other members here wil be ceen enough to share there pictures or information i wont be of mutch help with pictures

https://www.pickelhaubes.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10733 The link schould guide you to the helmet as mentiont above I looked some more to your helmet so the grommets are brass the spike and the base the plate are too Only the side posts are not If and i say if it was a parts helmet it wold be easye...

I have a helmet that has a mixture of parts and colors Even the markings are a mixture saying its marked FR90 but has a pruissian plate on it Somewhere in the latest find section this helmet of mine is mentiont(will try to dig it up and mention it here in this post ) So in my opinion it is perfectly...

I once had a similar product where you could make them in lead there where 3 of 4 moulds in that set but my father sold it before i collected german wo1 items The figures could olso be painted in pre war collors as wel in fieldgrey ,the paint was included in the set as well Damn i wish he did not se...

Thats a'n outstanding collection,as for the condition these helmets are in it will be a very big challenge to upgrading them
They are one by one mind blowing if you ask me

Well done zebedeus
