Our pets become our secondary children .

I feel for your loss.

I agree what a nice pair of helmets .

I see exotic helms like this and always wonder were did they come from in the 100+ years of issue ?

Very unique items .

I know it would of cost millions of marks back then but almost all pickelhaubes should have been issued with that back up plate .

Nice job.

It looks like a HUGE helmet !!!

Nice selection !!

Is that a real gray 92 ?

I have found one for sale.

HEAVY AND DEEP crazing with well worn liner.

$3000

This is an expensive hobby.

Wow 85,000 given out .

Were are they all now ?

I have 0 Jansens .

She is a beauty !!!

You can PM me if you like .

Can the original post of m-15 plates be brought back to life ?

Still need a set of screw on silver studs.

Anybody have a set ?

Hey Guys ,

What is your opinion on gray painted brass wappen ?

Was this done often or is it rare ?

Were there complete helms with gray painted brass hardware ?

Does anybody have original pieces they are willing to share ?

What a cool thing to collect !!

Wonderful collection !!

I am thinking grave marker.

I still think George Peppard is /was a sleeze ball from the Blue Max !! But my interest in spikes was spurred on by Klink's firemans helmet on his desk. https://photos.smugmug.com/My-First-Gallery/i-LKD9Jnh/0/5ee3cea8/M/Hogan%27s%20helmet-M.jpg Looks like the iconic spike has been replaced https://p...

A pair just sold on eBay. I see them there with relative frequency...

What ebay ?

I have a problem pulling up French and German ebays.

Still looking .

Yes that picture says it all .

In a 180 turn around I would love to have this felt on the shelf next to my other one.

Just for the visor trim !!!!

Good find.

I am no expert on shakos , but that is the first time I have ever seen a visor trim on any shako . The chin strap metal parts look original but the strap is questionable Usually there is a green leather sock that the field badge slides in on felt shakos . The field badge looks a little new . Not sur...

I have a fondness for felts as well.

Good score !!!

All helmets sold.

Thanks guys !!

Very nice.

This will be a nice addition to any collection when you get it restored.

I can't tell if the crown is voided or not .

He was either a high ranking Sgt or a One Year Volunteer OYV

I personaly can not tell from the uniform pic .

I do not see any collar tabs .

Cool that it is still in the family.

Covered in white clay it must be heavy .

One of 3 known is outstanding !!!

Good for you.

Hey Guys,

I am looking for a set of rounded silver Off chinscales.

When they come up on ebay they normally do not sale.

They are rarer than their gilted/brass counter parts but do not draw the money as the brass ones do.

Also looking for 4 silver domed screw on spike revits .

The spike top came from a dealer in Germany but I know nothing beyond that.

There are a bunch of them,.

The most popular I have seen is tan and chocolate brown.

Can you tell us were he got the spike.

The helmet looks great !!

I know this is a shot in the dark , but does anybody have a Kurassier spike and base they can part with.

I am looking for a EM set up.

Here is ban interesting read on the subject .

Another nice one.

Clean looking helmet.

Hey Guys, There has been a lot of officer's type helmets on ebay. The majority have been parts helmets and most of them have been pay officers. In almost all of these helmets the silk liner has been green ! Is this just a coincidence or were the pay masters helmets made with the green silk liner. Al...

I myself do not use them , but some guys use cheap wine or champagne glasses. They look elegant and hold the helmet up off of their visors. The same as the candle stick. I have several helms that are misshapen . I use 3/4 ply wood cut to the shape of the correct crown of the helmet . I wrap the circ...

Great example.

I like those felts !!

Not to be a buttinski or steal Tony's thunder but I have one up for sale now .

I have a one piece steel spike on my Prussian tin haube .

It has the standard hole configuration .

It is painted green.

Very nice helmet
