You are welcome gentlemen .

I read the article .
Ok what is the worst MG ?

Do not use tape. Use thick gel super glue ( CA glue ). Get a flat wooden board ( or card board can be used ), wax paper ,scotch tape a couple of pins and the super glue ( CA ). Tape the wax paper to the board. Tape the c/s to the board flat as possible with split on top. Apply the super glue gel to ...

No I think that he got wiped out by a tornado !

He once had a 88 muzzle break that I forgot that the auction was getting close and sold for around $100
I also got a few things from him at militaria shows back in the day.

The best way is to find one is to keep monitoring the French e-bay.
It has been a while since I have seen a grey wappen but gray visor trims show up weekly.

Wow what a line up.

The chances of finding a Bavarian fluted gray metal are almost the same as the Mek !

I could not find your item

I checked the American , German and French e-bay to no avail.

I had a really nice Staat officers one, that an Uncle brought back post WW2. But got rid of it along with all TR stuff. I kept a 1960's Berlin police shako just to show that Imperial style head gear didn't end in 1918. Got rid of all my TR stuff due to wife's family ( had a bunch of uncles in the a...

Nice felt and they are my favorite pickelhaubes. I know a little about fixing them. The rear visor is an easy fix and will not harm the helmet. You do need a former or hat strtcher to keep the original shape. They sell all of the time on ebay and are around $40-$60 Here is one https://www.ebay.com/i...

So Amy was the one who had the winning bid on that M15 Prussian dragoon helmet from eBay a while back. Congratulations Amy! I saw that it had very thin cardboard/ersatz visors on it from the auction photos. We all missed out on a super rare M15 Dragoon enlisted spike that sold on eBay when we were ...

The first stein with the bent thumb lever looks to be bent on purpose . The second shield thumb lever it would take 2 hands to enjoy your beer. Having the chinscales on would probably mess with your stash . That would not be pleasant while enjoying your beer. If it would happen to me the scales woul...

Nice piece !

Wow spectacular helmets .
I have never seen much less heard of these .
Were is the last one with the red Maltese on it from ?
Any history or story behind that piece ?

Wow !!

I wonder if that is the reason for so much of our helmets lacking there liners.

The brutality of war.

I found one !
I could use another one.
Also still looking for distressed felts.

Yeah, I wish it was tombac.
There is a halo around the solder that is copper in color.

Hey Guys,

I am looking for a decent Wurt EM plate .

I just got one in and it looked great but after cleaning it turned out to be copper

Missing antlers is OK but I rather have them on the plate.

I have owed several as well.

Here was one that I sold and caused some controversy

Very nice shako.
Thanks for sharing.

Amazing !
Great pic up.

Thanks.

Very nice.

Did you get the 3 training pieces all at once or one at a time.
These are probably rarer than the actual weapon !

Very nice pieces.
I would like to see a Wurt pictured if there is one out there.
The 92 is fantastic.

pickelhauben ; Not as much as you quoted , but it was not cheap .I only know of 2 others and they can not be had . so as the Elvis song goes ; "It's Now or Never " I used to really like NOLA .a few years back we went 10 years in a row . Not so pleased with NOLA any longer after they took General Ro...

Steve found the Holy Grail in Grays !!!
That gray Bruns
If you or Steve do not mind , how much did that hens teeth cost ?

Last time I saw one up for sale was on ebay .
Although it was a dog , it fetched $6,000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice find .
What better way to run off those pesky door to door sales men !

What a cool helmet !!

Good luck on finding an end.
These are similar to hen's teeth.

WOW !!!!

Yes very cool you got it back !
And nice example to boot.

Great Wurt !!

Great helmet.
I am glad it found a new home.
If only it could talk.

Mostly black but brown is not unheard of.

I think finding ones of these may be an impossible task.
With a little help this may work.
It is selling on the French e-bay.

A picture would help.

Wow What a difference.

Great job

Bavarian, This helmet is definitely an anomaly. It is a pre war Bavarian with an Mexican cross base and plume. The Mexican helmets are RARE , can you imagine trying to find a cross bas. Other than the plume and base all original. The off style liner has seen 100yrs plus of aging. $450plus shipping h...
