Well done, it looks great

Congratulations Coert ..where do you find all these helmets?

I like it very much, thank you gor sharing

Like new... an outstanding job

Awesome condition. Congratulations:)

Nice Helmet, congratulations
Btw, I saw bavarian Helmets with tall Spikes and some Helmets, like this one, with shorter Spikes. I found no reasons because of Regiments for these differences, like flat or rounded Chinscales. Doesanybody know if there existed a rule?

Watered Silk (called true Moiré-Silk) is still gonna be produced by some Manufacturers with original heated Presses. I know some Manufacturers in Europe but unfortunately they don‘t produce it for end customers in small pieces of fabrics. I‘m looking for such small pieces of antique Moiré-Silk for a...

Congratulations, a nice Helmet
Does it have 2 prussian Kokarden or do I overlook the red of the Reichskokarde?

Nice Helme, congratulations

In my opinion the color is plausible, I saw Helmets with same colored Kokarden. But I agree with coert that this one looks repainted. http://www.spandaumilitariashop.com/ww1-oldenburg-state-pickelhaube-cockade/ https://www.themilitarycampaign.co.uk/product/oldenburg-infantry-regiment-pickelhaube/ He...

Congratulations, a nice Helmet

Unfortunately not a family piece, just purchased. The photographer is E. Bieber of Berlin & Hamburg. Next to the date is a written word which is hard to read “ Cidrel “ or “Bidrel”, presumably where the portrait was signed. A nice piece of history :bravo: I love these Photos of another period and I...

Very nice Photo, thank you for sharing
Do you bought it or is there a Family-History behind?

Cool idea
For those edges there exists special scissors with profiled edges. In german called „Konturenschere“, don‘t know the english word, sorry.

Seems its al about details so that is well shown here That whas something i did not know There is just something amazing about parade helmets Jonas Here is a very good posts about this topic. Everything about Spikes :thumb up: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8231 https://www.pic...

I think the color is plausible. Found this one at www.weitze.net which has the same color:

Does anybody know what happened to the site www.kaiserhelmets.com?
I love the books of James Turinetti and it would be a big loss if no new „Pricing Guide“ will be released

One of my favorite Helmet. Well done

Congratulations, a fine Helmet

Nice Helmet, congratulations and welcome to the Forum also from my side

Welcome to the Forum. 14 years old and interested in history, you got my full respect

Congratulations to your new Helmet

Over the years several different cocades have been used. The cocades differs in diameter and with the M91-Helmet the chintrap got a new mountingsystem. That‘s the reason for the larger center hole in the cocades. Read more here, please: http://www.kaisersbunker.com/pe/m1891.htm or here: http://picke...

Very well done, congratulations

Thx for explaining

I would say Repo IMO

James

Could you explain the characteristics to identify this?

Awesome collection. Like the idea to open the collection for public

Nice job, Brian. Always a pleasure to see those Helmets come to life again

A real improvement, nice job

Nice Group, looks great...Also sour Avatar-Pic...love it

It works...thank you Tech-Admins...great job

Hello all,
I just want to test if the Forum is working again after the server downtime.

A hard but interesting project.
Wish you all the best and I‘m looking forward to see the restored Helmet

Hello and welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately there is only one picture left in your post. Would you please upload the other ones again? Please with a Pic of the inner Liner and Bolts. Thx

Thank you Gentlemen, I also did not see one like this before. I know Gift-Frames with height around 40mm, but this is the first one with painting measurements

Dear Gentlemen, I‘m very proud to present my new original Picture of his highness Emperor Wilhelm II, King of Prussia :) I guess it is a Gift-Frame of 1910-1914, the dimensions are 70cm x 54cm. In any case it seems to be original, untouched at the backside and in an overall good condition. It got a ...

[quote] Great! Love the display![/
Thank you very much Khukri, I‘m very happy with it

Thank you for restoring the pictures again. Wonderfull pieces

now I'm singing this song of Pink Floyd... wish you were here

I promise that you are the first guy I gonna ask when I wanna sell it

Cool post, think my Sabre may be linked here :) It is a 1910 Cavalry-Sabre with Monogramm of Alfons of Bavary. A daily use Sword, that‘s why I was not sure if it was really one of his own. But I presented it to Jan Kube, who gave me a written certificate that it is a real Sabre of Alfons of Bavaria ...

Pickelhaube Model 2019. Quality prevails...

Wow, can u show a pic of it?

Yes, I can

Yesterday my knitted Winter-Pickelhaube.
Thank you Amy, it is really nice and I’m looking forward to wer it on our fun autumm tours..

I‘m glad that I‘m not the only one with a kind of problem like that :D I never used Fahrenheit but I agree that Metric is the easier System. In Germany we still use Inches for Tube-diameters or thread-diameter for some bolts. The good thing is that you will keep in training of fractional arithmetic ...

Thanks for your explaination Philippe

Awesome Phiippe. I was hoping that you will be able to find him :bravo: Was it usual that the first name has been written in German-Letters and the last Name in Latin-Letters? It‘s always a little bit irritating for me that 2 different Alphabets have been used. Did they follow a rule for writing the...

Sandy, I always believed, from diverse other sources, that on these markings particular to bavarian gear, BD stands for "Bayerische Division", and not Bekleidungs Depot... Was I wrong? I think „Bekleidungs-Depot“ is correct. It‘s an equipment marking and in Bavaria the name „Bekleidungsdepot“ was o...

Nice Helmet, congratulations :bravo: I have some ideas for your stamps, may be it‘s usefull for you: B.D.III = Bekleidungs-Depot III - Below of this marking seems to be the year 1915 . Concerning the Number 147 I have read that it is a code for the type of unit which is marked, in this case a Pickel...

Just a minor note, it‘s E. F. Hörster from Solingen, not „Horster“.
