Nice post

Congratulations to the nice Helmet

Worthy Monument. Thank you for sharing

These helmets caused confusion on the part of history challenged British troops when they encountered Germans wearing “British” battle honours. Was it really unknown in GB that german troops have fought in Waterloo together with british Troops side by side against Napoleon? Not only hannoverian, al...

That is really hideous and should not be published without the protection of minors

You are welcome
I bought this book just a few days before, so it was a good timing

I found it
It‘s a Gala-Uniform of a Chamberlain around 1910. On Picture „Abb. 5“ of the linked website you can see the Uniform on a royal Gala in Potsdam from Wilhelm II. with the historical pants.

It looks like an uniform of a prussian Chamberlain (Kammerherr). Below you can see h.M. Emperor Wilhelm II. with his Chamberlains. But I don‘t know if its an older Version or a Gala-Uniform?! Sometimes the Gala-Uniforms had historic pants of the 18th century. 13D51735-B211-4799-AC7F-6BD29BC73AC5.jpe...

Nice presentation and collection, I like it

I love the 1st photo! Thank you for sharing

@ Philippe: Many thanks for your correction, I didn‘t know this with the red numbers of the covers :) I saw the roman 1 and something like an „E“ before the Regiment and acted too hastily. I couldn‘t imagine that 2 soldiers with the same name served in the same regiment, but it seems I was wrong :( ...

Very nice
It took a while but I like Thschapkas more and more

I could not read all, but this is what I found: Erwin Kaebel was born on 29.8.1890 in Hagen. He was a Master-Lacquer (Malermeister) and married with Käte ?Costa? 1910-12 he served in the 39. Infantry-Reg., 3rd Komp. He has been called for military service against France on 3.8.1914 and served in th...

Wonderful condition. Really beautiful, thank you for sharing

Great investigation and Post. Well done

Nice Helmet and Epaulettes. Thank you for sharing

Great post, thank you for sharing

After investigating for this Zahlmeister-Post I have found these hardcover Books for a fair price and I‘m very happy to own it now :D 39DB4C90-7010-4FDD-BC1A-58CC3502AB9C.jpeg Here are the written informations about the „Oberzahlmeister“ out of Volume I of the Books „Uniformenkunde - Das Deutsche He...

Welcome to the Forum, it‘s a great first Post
Have you find a Name or any else pencil notes inside?

Wonderful Hessen-Plate
Hope we‘ll get all Zahlmeister-Plates together, would be great
Looking forward to see the uploads from the 2 Books, I don‘t know them

It‘s the 1. Child-Busby I see in real. Really nice

Beautiful presentation of these nice groups.
I love it, well done

You have to be pretty dedicated to replace a liner, it is a big job as both visors have to be removed. I have done several including making/installing my own repros. Another problem, the M91 side posts will get in the way of stitching a replacement liner in. I have removed them in the past in order...

Welcome to the Forum

Nice Helmet and sweet and encouraging child paintings
Wish you all the best in Italy and also the rest of the World. Be strong and stay healthy till they find a cure

All the best for your project... I have to do the same task and will start to replace a liner soon. So I know how you feel

I could sell a roll of TP... just 250€

Nice Helmet, fine Post. Congratulations John

Congratulations to your new Shako. It looks very nice
Unfortunately I can‘t help with the stamps. The only think I can identify is 1916.

Thank you all for your nice comments:)

Sandy numbers in pencil written in a shell, usually are made by the helmet manufacturer, indicating shell size, height, width, or other indicators.

That sounds like an explanation. Thank you very much for this information Tony.

I‘m with 911car, it’s an Ulan. Chevauleger wore other Helmets. Concerning the Text I’m not 100% sure, but it could be: Ulan Emanuel Hergoy in ? Bayern ? 1893 Medals from right could be: Armeedenkzeichen 1866 (Bayern) Maybe Bayerische Tapferkeitsmedaille, Rettungsmedaille (Bayern) or other medal EK 2...

Thank you Gentlemen, I‘m happy if I can help to preserve Helmets

I wish I would have the money. A beauty

Last week I surfed in the Internet to get more Informations about stiching leather and painting Pickelhaubes. I’ve found a post in another Forum, where a Member stated that original Pickelhaubes-Lacquer contained not only black Shellac but soot and other things and that the knowlege of the Receipe i...

Thank you for this post. They really look good and itˋs good to be remembered that we have to keep our eyes open.

Looks cool Coert...well done

Congratulations, nice Helmets

I think they are not interested in rewriting history, but to show and advertise the actual stand of it and I understand the wish. Wilhelm II. was everything other than perfect, but he was not the source of evil these Historians made him to. It’s not fair that they should accept the responsibility fo...

Thanks guys, this is really a difference

Does anybody have an original to compare? It would be interesting to see the details

Nice Lamps. But please take a Repro, a real Helmet would be a shame

Thanks for sharing. Really nice Helmets and interesting to see

Thanks. Not mine. That was my question, how do you make them fly ...;-) Sorry, my fault. Maybe this Google-search helps if you don‘t like to build it by your own. Before I decides to a regular stand I was thinking about a wall-mounting system too: https://www.google.de/search?q=helmhalter+wand&tbm=...

Great post. I love the comic style and the result

Does anybody have a picture of an bavarian paymaster Helmet? On the extracted sites I posted there are little plates for Reich, Prussia, Saxony, Baden, Hessen, Mecklenburg, Schwerin Strelitz, but no Bavaria. I cant’t believe that no little bavarian paymaster plate exits?

Impressive collection. Looks cool with the flying Helmets

Very nice. Surprised to see that combination. Does it mean they had the little Zahlmeister eagle for every regiment. Meaning it may be sitting on every special helmet plate. By special helmet plate I mean every Prussian line eagle plate with a additional bandeau or other items ? As I know the littl...
