I have a helmet up for sale with a checkered past. It is coming back to me because the plate was called a fake. The collector whom I got it from is probably one of the most honest collectors and dealers in our hobby . The story behind the plate is that it is a raw stamping and was never finished on ...

To you guys who are interested.

I do take lay aways.

I have to sale this thing .

One more price drop then it is off to e-bay.

$1,400 plus shipping.

Very Nice !!!!

Ohh

I have been needing to go to the doctor for years now.

This is a wake up call for me.
Hang in there.

Things are not getting better so I have another one up for sale. A OYV or Sergeant's Oldenburg pickelhaube. It has 91 posts with screw stud rivets. Off style front and rear spine . The rear spine has a couple of dents in it right at the curve. NCO style non removable spike . Flat chinscales with one...

VERY NICE !!!

Very nice oldie !!

Sale pending .

Sale pending.

I got this a while back off of ebay. It is now correct. As you can see in the pics it has a nice frosty plate and correct studs and short non removable spike. The silk has a tear in it and 3 of the silver posts are post war. It has a nice shape to it and very minor crazing. There is a small flat pun...

Well things are not getting better around here , so I need to sell another one. I got this from AOK at the start of the year and paid $1,700 . I would like to make a little money on it so I am asking $1,900 OBO. Plus shipping. It is in VG shape with the usual bubble type crazing . Un touched. The C/...

Forcing things never ends up good .
You should block it back to shape and let it set .

it takes years to deform but months to re-align.

Still looking for a set.

Nice helmet with great markings

Gus in that Viking boat is comical.

Reminds me of Chuck.



In the first pic , what is that thing ?

A lance with hand garde ?

300 waiting in a line .

YIKES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great score.

The cut out on the beak is something !!

Great sword and display. Thanks for sharing.

I do like these old helmets !!!

I need a set of 4 to complete a Off. Paymaster helmet.

Does anybody have a set that they can part with ?

Happy Sgt York Day !!!

I loved the movie and have probably watched it about a dozen times over the years.

FWI

Ms Gracie in real life looked closer to the actress playing his mother in the movie.

I agree with the others.

Very nice indeed !

Sold !!!

PM returned .

Hey Guys,

Does anybody have any basket case felts they want to part with ?

Tears are fine with me either grey or brass hardware.

Pieces missing are ok with me .

Still looking for more basket case uhlans as well.

Yes nice indeed !!

Would you mind telling us were you got it ?

Maybe we can get lucky too.

This is a tough one . I am certainly no expert but somethings look good and some not so. Good The stamping looks nice and crisp and are of brass . If it were copper that would be a big red flag . There are traces of silver on the back of the star . All of the silver was removed on the front possibly...

Nice story.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes a very nice Arty.

Thanks for the kind remarks

VERY NICE !!!

Oooh a Pioneer felt .

Very nice !!

I tride to get on this post yesterday but was locked out.

I will be enjoying this new felt post .

Clean looking felt.

Steve, I’m with you, I think only the one regiment wore them. Most of the ones I’ve seen have the company number on them. Also, if they were worn by an entire division, I would think they would be more common than they are. In my 50 years of collecting I have pulled many, many M16s out of attics, b...

Hey Pickelhauben, this is the real deal. This is probably the rarest prussian helmet ever made. Absolutely an amazing find !

OK But the trim threw me off.

But you know the fakes that I speak of .

I do not want to throw a monkey wrench in the works but, I have seen several felt spikes with the leather trim around them.

Fakes !! Wouldn't this be counted in that number ?

Thanks for the update . I would have tried brake cleaning fluid . But it would have been scary to use. I have tried it before on a clear canopy for a R/C model air plane. Some one had taped the canopy in place and it worked getting the gum off from the tape. It did not hurt the clear plastic but tha...

Very unusual

Probably the most trusted in North America is Age of Kings based in Texas. They specialize in pickelhaubes and have a website displaying their wares.

I second that.

Welcome.
