$129 a set or each ?

Very nice !!

Thanks for sharing.

I forgot to add the flyers were for bonds.

In Randy T's book he has a printed flyer that was given out showing spikes and an garde uhlan without the star.
They had hundreds of them.
You see more m-15 without the star than with.
I was lucky to win one off of ebay about 25 years ago and have NEVER seen one since.

Yes at one time George was the only game in and spikes on ebay was at it's infancy. Back then parts were not available and either you made your own or did with out. Now if you need a part just wait and check ebay every day and that part may just show up. Except for an original uhlan metal m-15 top. ...

Boy this sure got way off of the subject. I got one of these repo arty spike from a French dealer as well . The bump on the neck is a little wider than a regular spike neck. But I do have an ORIGINAL that has a wide one as well. The real give away is actually the base itself Is has sharp cut just li...

They look great together.

Hey Bryan ,

I would like a separate post with ersatz.

Great info, thanks for posting. Is there an order form?

Yes look at the bottom of the page , I think that there is a link to click on.

Or maybe I need new glasses.

I wish I could read German.

Yes with no more pictures to look at , I would go out on a limb and say original hardware and repo leather .

Cool cat! Did you make the mini-haube?

No it is off of a 1/6 scale figure.

Here is my little girl in a pickelhaube .

My little fur baby's name is ninja

While we wait here were my last 2 https://photos.smugmug.com/My-First-Gallery/i-qPHJmdX/0/778ef4ce/M/GetAttachmentThumbnail-12-M.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/My-First-Gallery/i-fMQ826S/0/fcbfd809/M/GetAttachmentThumbnail-18-M.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/My-First-Gallery/i-grSXJjT/0/b9e98a07/M/G...

I have collected camos in the past and collected over 50 of them. Switching to spikes I have sold off the last 4 last year. I am no expert but I have noticed somethings by looking at them. Your helmet looks great but I see a couple of red flags . As stated before the revits would not have shiny stee...

Still looking .
Any condition felt wanted.

I said and I quote myself " it has been said". I did not say that I believe this . The source was a couple of dealers and a predominant collector. Dealers would say this to make a sale. The collector I speak of has been collecting for 40+ I would guess. But who knows for sure ? The guys who were the...

Felts were issued with a thinner leather or ersatz liner. They do not hold up well after 100 years. it has been said that some felts were issued without a liner . You did good on yours and I hope you did not have to pay too much for it. It does have a repo chin strap and the price on originals are s...

Great grey arty !!

I saw this on ebay and a lot of people wanted it .

67 bids and the price went through the roof !!!!

That ventless spine makes all of the difference in the world.

You are lucky to have won it but you paid dearly.

That is hilarious .

I see all the humor in that .

My wife not so much.

Looks like it did not transfer THE DAD TALKING TO SON ABOUT PLAY.

I have gotten the book and have almost read from cover to cover . A great read and pictures. When I got it , I said to myself the front cover looks in the vein of AGM then I saw the connection. I thought it was a great read and glad I got it !!! The only thing that is a semi negative for me is the A...

Indeed unusual .

Any way to see the camo helmet / weapon in question ?

Hard to tell with just one upside down picture. Do the shells have liners ? Hard to tell is the rougher one an officers ? The one on the right is a 1915 Enlisted Mans you can find one intact for $350-$550 If you were to buy the parts you are looking at : Gray spike ----------------------------------...

Those oldies go for $3,000 to $5,000 .

This one would bring more.

It is a beauty !!!

Yes a rare find.

I as well would like to add this to my felt collection.

Pretty sharp !!

Not holding it in my hands.

It looks tight and right to me.

But I am missing half of your pics.

Got it worked out .
Order sent.

Put me down for one !

But the click on does not seem to work.

Very Nice !!!

Thanks for sharing .

And here is one that was not random at all!

L1020124.JPG

I am sorry but you need to name the fine fellows in this pic

The pics of the helmets makes me SMILE !!!

Nice haul Amy !!

Pictures guys.

Pictures please.

No that front visor was never hammered flat .
Looks to be a replacement visor.
The small leather bucket was always cut off by post war collectors .
They had a tendancy to get in the way and the quick fix was to cut them off.

Not sure of any Elvis sightings down here but temps got to 45 F when the vortex hit.

It was freezing !!!

PM sent.

Yes it is a 1915 felt.

If you ever are looking to sell it felts are my thing !!!

Hmmmm

Called the guy by name.

Possibly a friend of the seller who up bidded and did not get over bid.

Hmmmm… I looks like you may have a parts helmet . It looks to have a uhlan eagle missing the garde star ( brass ) Brass spike . Steele 91 posts with front visor and a brass spine. They could have mixed and matched the parts in wartime but that is the wrong eagle for this picklehaube. It belongs a mo...

They fit perfect in the brass grommets and the studs ( threaded studs ) have not been moved.

Hey Guys ,

I got a brass Wurt EM about 25 years ago .
It has stampings that may be a Prussian helmet not Wurttemburg.

J. R. 172 1913

AND

BAXV 1913

It is in pristine condition and has original cocardes and c/s.

Pruss or Wurtt ?

I am not up on swords but that is an English coat of arms.

Yes a great find indeed .

At this time in my life I am moving in the opposite direction.

Treat it with care Amy .

I agree with all of the others.

GREAT FIND !!

If you want to make your own, old soup cans work as well.

I have 2 spikes in the parts box were the silver has worn through showing the brass underneath .

I have also sold a Wurt Off were the wappen's brass was starting to show through.

Apparently nickel plating of brass for helmet hardware was done quite often.
