The one that John has suggested on the earlier page wasn't bad.

Its a early model with threads and nuts system on the wappen and the rear spine is voided of the vent shutter.

No cockades, no chinstrap for 400-500.

We are all out for bargains but there again, our hobby is a passion that no money can buy. I guess members on this forum all share the same thinking, if we see something that we really want, price doesn't become a barrier. It really depends on what is the condition that you are looking at and where ...

I think Age of King has sold his mint FAR44 grey metal artillery for $1500.

Nice.

Congrats

sorry it looks like a fake

That was exactly my first reaction when I saw it at a dealers stand.

When I looked closer and had my hands on it, my feelings somehow changed.

I have yet to do an in depth research on it b but the few panels of cotton cloth have been given a coat of lacquer, sigh

Wouldn't putting in an officer liner be a better choice as it is easier to find an officer liner since uhlan has the same officer liner as pickelhaube?

Michel, I am not sure what our restoration expert Brian uses but I use 3M surgical micropore tape which is paper thin and I apply contact cement to give support to the leather so that it doesn't break. The micropore tape must be that of the surgical type which is of our skin colour and cosmetic surg...

Since my last Prussian Guard Ersatz, here is one that I have picked it up at SOS 2020

hi Amy congratulations for this super addition to your collection this is a very rare pickelhaube, I have the more common Prussian one. all the best Verdun16 https://i.ibb.co/wp3Hgsy/Immagine-073.jpg https://i.ibb.co/R6dd9ZH/Immagine-074.jpg https://i.ibb.co/89cCj7q/Immagine-075.jpg https://i.ibb.c...

Thanks for being a good sport on this post Amy, feel free to post a photo of your favourite male escort! :D At first, I was thinking maybe I can put my hubby's photo here but he is only my escort when I am in Australia. Or maybe a split pair of hand when I need to win something from Jeff's AGM cata...

LOL this is quite funny. Well she is smart to know that this forum is where all the rich guys are .especially those with nice collection LOL I was a lot richer before I started collecting. LOL! Hmmm,, that is true but if you were to keep the collection for longer period, you will get back your inve...

Very good Amy, please, never ever call yourself dumb, all of us guys are very lucky to have a female collector here with us, especially one who has such a large collection which can provide examples when we discuss things. I continuously make mistakes in my responses to certain posts here and I app...

Alex, Mark and Jeremy have been extremely helpful.

Thank you guys.

Hi Brian I fully support the paid membership. I have seen auctioneers coming onto the website trying to tape on our knowledge and they save on getting a paid assessors. We are like some experts with no cost 😂 Thank you Tony so I am not that dumb after all. At first, I thought it was because I was on...

Hi guys

I Won a Spike from a seller only to be told that he doesn't ship out of UK.

Am trying my luck here, no obligations

Thanks Alan, one of the silver wurttemberg is sold to me by tony, as u know he has top notched gear, so that was a really nice helmet

LOL this is quite funny.

https://www.ebay.de/itm/Helm-Pickelhaub ... SwbwZe47Eq

Seller(whom most members agree is an honest guy) didn't manage to sell it to the second highest bidder. Hope he gets a higher bid than the first round.

Peter, that hessian helmet is actually quite an honest price. There's another one on the same website for 4000+

Hessian are really hard to come by and some pp moves the prongs on the hessian badge to fit on prussian body to dig the hole for collector to drop in. So buy from honest sources.

PG, I think you have already figured out what to do with the 400 helmet and Coert has given you good advice. So go and do what your gut feelings tell you so. All the best.

Moment of impulse prompt me to check that I still have some goodies after selling that nice wurttemberg to Alan. Here's part of the ORs collection. Top 2 are silver marked to R119. 3 Brass ones with different or no marking and M15 with some or no markings. Another few more ORs couldn't come onto the...

Trust me I am into it. I have bought 3 things in the past few weeks and I got a lot of stuff coming and going. My goal is to open a shop one day and end up as successful as stores like regimentals. Thank you guys so much for the help, you helped me dodge quite a bullet! On another note, I got a guy...

PG, you ought to invest in books to build up your knowledge and know at least the basic of pickelhaubes if you are serious in taking up this hobby. We can give you our opinion but why would we be telling you what you should buy and what you should not buy and how much they are worth etc. Jim Turinet...

Hey Alan, get a brass one and make it a pair, then add a silver R119 or R123. They will sure look very good.

That looks so familiar, oh yes it's my helmet

I know you will take care of it well and good.

Looks excellent with the chinstrap and cockades.

Hi guys, we all gave our honest opinion for PG to aid in his buying decisions. But have we ever spared athought for the seller? PG bought the item thinking that it was a bargain and he sought our opinion AFTER he has won the bid. And what he did after that was simply telling the seller to cancel the...

What is the address for Steve's house where the collection is housed??

Anyone wants to join me to visit the house with a trolley and pick as you go. Say, you are allowed 30 mins or till fill up your shopping trolley whichever comes first. Then you are allowed to go home

Are we going to buy this xray machine to put inside our house to inspect our collection?

I am not that gifted like Brian. I think I will get another shell to stand by as I know I will damage the helmet more than restoring it

always nice to see such beautiful collection

Wow, very nice

I am clearing out my shoulder board collection. Please find pics here and if you need more pics, please feel free to ask. Drop me an email at [email protected].com.sg. Offers are welcome. Shipping is US$15 per pair. 1. Imperial Prussian R29 Lieutnant's dress shoulder epaulettes US$150 a pair 2. Imp...

Thank you everyone for your input

Amy, M15 Prussian Kurassier helmets were sometimes produced with blackened shells, therefore this combination was not impossible. This was perhaps a Kurassier Extra-Helm (private purchase), since it cannot be an Ordonnanz/Meldereiter helmet with this round visor. This hypothesis would not be suppor...

Amy, Did you remove the left side chinscale and cockade to see if there are any regiment stampings? I see that it did indeed have a kurrasier spike attached to it at some point because of the drill holes. John John, thank you for the message. No markings at all. That was the first thing that I look...

Sorry for being so late. Getting lazy with this lock down.

Here's my Bavarian. Wing Nut, no extra holes, no markings.

Thank you guys. I guess I am just going to leave the thing just as it is for the time being.

Very nice.

Guys I need help on this thing Bought this at SOS 2020 and one guy told me not to buy it cos it has jzp spike on a kurassier body, wish to express thanks to the guy (if he is a member of this forum) as I know he is out of concern. I was looking at more of the parts from the body but there again, wit...
