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 !!!

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.

1. Neigbors Flea Markets ebay dealers This forum 2.$450-$750 3.Not a n easy question to answer . Obvious if it is bright and shiny it is a copy . With experience you probably can tell in an instant . The easiest for me is to smell it . If it smells like leather it is new . If is smells dusty or like...

I would say normally the M-95 brass would be about $100-$150 more than the grey metal M-15 .


The m-15 grey metal is probably the most abundant pickelhaube out there.

Nice trench art piece.

I have a Wurt as well.

It would have been nice to get the Prussian to go with it.

Very nice !!!

Welcome !!

A couple of beauties !!!

Lol....she called the French helmet a WW1 helmet, its from the second world war.... It also had one of those lead castings for the " registration " on the front and not stamped !! A couple of years ago in a local Army-Navy store they had about 6 of them for $35 . $400 what a bargain. And with liner...

Yikes !!

Take it easy .

welcome !

My son got a plastic toy army helmet from one of his aunts for his birthday . He played army with the neighborhood kids for a while . A year or so he moved on to other things to play with and he gave that plastic helmet to me . It is sitting on one of my shelves next to a couple of shakos. I am prou...

I saw this one or one like it from a seller in the UK on ebay .

Wrong as the day is long.

Very nice.

I have been looking for one of these for YEARS !!!

Great collection.

Is Mr . Hartman still with us ?

Wow Amy,

Love your combat helmets as well .

Sorry Kugel not spike and the spine is NOT vented.

Hey Guys, I got in a salty Arty with rounded chinscales with NCO cocardes . It has the standard non removable spike and NO NCO PEARLS . It has markings that I would like to find out what Regiment it is from. It looks like-211 3rB with a 12 or 42 and the date 1903. The marking are sharp but hard to m...
