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

Sandmann

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

Sandmann

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

Sandmann

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 ...

Sandmann

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

Sandmann

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

Sandmann

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 ...

Wow, can u show a pic of it?

Yes, I can

Sandmann

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..

Sandmann

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 ...

Sandmann

Thanks for your explaination Philippe

Sandmann

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...

Sandmann

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...

Sandmann

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...

Sandmann

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

Sandmann

Nice pictures, congratulations

Sandmann

Thx Brian

Sandmann

Well done

Will you rework the missing shellac or will do you plan to leave it as is?

Sandmann

Thank you for sharing

Sandmann

Very cool. Is it the same Helmet which is still in use by the presidental Guard?

Sandmann

Congratulations, a fine Helmet

Sandmann

Agree, looks really great

Sandmann

Very cool, especially the instructions to wear the „Verdienstkreuz“

Sandmann

Sorry to read this. Divorce is a hard time, but keep your Head up, better times will come again...

@Coert: You got my full respect. Sorry for your loss.

Sandmann

My sincere condolences. Myself, I lost my stepfather and father-in-law this year.
It is really a sad year

Sandmann

I would not do more than Tony explained at his Website. Personally, I prefer some patina.
I In terms of the Helmets which look like coated with white powder, I would not try to clean it or rub the layer off. It would be too dangerous to disfigure the Helmet completely.

Sandmann

Hmmm......"Fatty Spue" a new phrase to add to my vocabulary! I wonder though, how I will be able to work that into "cocktail conversation" over a nice glass of Merlot or Cab Sauv?? :D Mike, your avatar reminds me to announce here that I am in need of an officer Garde Stern to complete a neusilber o...

What does the III mean?

96F6AFE3-CC66-49F6-BC23-AC478F7F2C14.jpeg

Grenadier-Regiment Crown Prince (1.Ostpreußisches)
04.06.1860 - 15.06.1888: Crownprince and later Emperor Friedrich III.

Sandmann

It could be something called “fatty spue“. It is a reaction of residual fat from the leather due to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The results look very similar and also the point that it disappears when heated sounds plausible. Here a Link to Leather-Dictionary.com with an explanation an...

Maggie (Gus's better half) would love to get the pattern so she can make me one! James I found a similar pattern, unfortunately without the prussian Eagle: https://www.etsy.com/listing/74885991/team-spirit-pickelhaube-crochet-pattern Amy, I‘m looking forward for the sellers shop. It would be really...

Sandmann

I would buy it

Sandmann

Congratulations to xour Helmet and welcome to the Forum

Sandmann

Awesome Post

Thank you very much for sharing it and for your efforts

Sandmann

In my opinion it‘s not the question if the Treaty of Versailles was to harsh, but to get the main guilt for starting ww1. That is even today a question of interest for many Germans. For ww2 it is a clear fact that Nazi-Germany started the war, but not for ww1. In the end I‘m glad that Germany and Fr...

Sandmann

That‘s true, the collectors mostly want military stuff. The Beamten or Polizei-Helmets don‘t reach these prices, even they look as good on the shelf as an military Helmet. But if you want to have it as an investment you should buy military.

Sandmann

Indeed, very nice piece in wonderfull condition.
I love noble stuff, it‘s always high quality

Sandmann

Impressive results with Hagerty-Cleaner, thank you for sharing the tipps

Sandmann

Congratulations also from my side...a nice one.. I like the bavarian Helmets

Sandmann

A wonderful Helmet, especially the Spikebase. Didn‘t know that it exists. Thank you for sharing

Sandmann

Awesome job...is it a 3d Print or done by hand?

Sandmann

Thanks to Admins and Tech-Support also from my side

Sandmann

In another Forum Members have to spend a few Euros before somebody can post something or use pm‘s. Maybe this can be a tactic to avoid spammers and hackertools. If someone is seriously interested in Pickelhaubes, he won‘t get past this forum and will pay a Dollar with pleasure to ask our Specialist ...

Sandmann

Sometimes you can find used ones in nearly new condition at amazon, booklooker or ebay for good prices. Today I bought a used (nearly new) „Die Deutschen Generale“ for 59,95€ at amazon

Sandmann

A wonderful uniform, looks perfect. Congratulations

Sandmann

Looks great, congratulations

Sandmann

Congratulations, a nice Helmet

Sandmann

Thx for the explanation Joe, I will read it carefully

I didn‘t want to confuse somebody, it was just an idea because I found it looks closer to a Helmet of this Section as a NCO-School-Helmet.

Sandmann

I think Philippe is right, the NCO-School-Helmets would have worn a Guard-Star Please have a look to the Henkel Atlas, Tafel 26. But what about the 38 Division of Erfurt? These Helmets would have worn a prussian Eagle with a saxony Star Henkel Atlas Tafel 11: AAE84D9A-07CA-415E-B7A7-39A976C8AB8A.jpe...
