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...

Hi Galanj and John, I may be wrong as I am still learning. I have a total of amount 20+ Jzp and Kurassier , sorry to say that I have not seen original liners in that colour scheme. I have come across many steel pots with fake liners and yours don't look original to me. If you are gamed to take off t...

Alex was at the auction so I bet he must have bought a few items. I wasn't able to win a single item online

Nice helmet Amy!

B.I.A VII stands for Bekleidungs Instandsetzungs Amt VII, the repairdepot were it was probable redone, the F stands for Feldmassig, good to be used in the field.

Greetings, Coert.

Coert,

Thank you for the information.

Very useful research info.

So Amy was the one who had the winning bid on that M15 Prussian dragoon helmet from eBay a while back. Congratulations Amy! I saw that it had very thin cardboard/ersatz visors on it from the auction photos. We all missed out on a super rare M15 Dragoon enlisted spike that sold on eBay when we were ...

Amy, look at the left part of the rear bill. I had the impression that 7D could be made out, in whitish colour. I may be completely wrong... 20200407_091155_resized.jpg Bruno, You have a pair of very sharp eyes and yes indeed it is 7D and size 57. I must go and train up my eyesight but I realised t...

:) Thank you Bruno. I don't remember reading the part that says it has markings and I couldn't seeing DR7 or DR8 on it. It has another set of markings which I have no clue what it is. There are extra holes that were there and other than that, liner is supple, visors have been stitched up. So not bad...

I think you are referring to this one. I bought it from EBAY last month. The front and rear visors were dislodged and they were made of cardboard and I spent a while stitching them back together. The liner is period. It did not have any spike, I don't have the correct spike for it so I put on an M15...

Steve, I recently acquired the dragoon M15 which has no Spike and that's why I did the research ams realised that the spike had to be removable with the pearls at the throat. I don't think it's easy to find the spike but time will tell. Good luck to us both to look for the same spike. It's really r...

Bruno, you have very nice helmet and always makes me jealous.

Hi Steve, Sorry for the late reply as Singapore govt has not ordered to shut any schools so my care centre has to continue to operate. I refer to Col Joe Robinson's site and he has couple of M15 dragoon with the removable spikes and they all have the small pearlring at the base of the removable spik...

Wonderful haul.

Just a question on DR25 Wurttemberg, shouldn't the removable spike have the pearlring(not the officer type) near the throat?

Hi Patrick I am in Singapore and we have abt 800+ cases so far. No lockdown at all. Social distancing is a must. Schools are all opened and I operate a care service for kids ams government has listed ours as essential services so we will be one of the last to shut (though I hope that they will lock ...

Nice, Nice.

I have 3 IR88. Here's the ersatz one.

Very nice. I hope I can find time and limp around to find my IR88 to post. My angle grinder kickbacked yesterday when I doing woodwork for more helmet shelves. The whole grinder flew off, sliced the right shin and cut into the bone. Went to the nearest clinic and he refused to stitch me up cos he sa...

Hi Amy. The one you showed is the issued Mannschaften pattern. Also heavily faked. Hmm besides regimental, another dealer helmet weitz has a similar helmet Ya, I was very excited when he was pulling out all his helmets from the big case. Then one forum member, an expert, warned me to be careful of ...

Hmm besides regimental, another dealer helmet weitz has a similar helmet

Very pretty. Amazing

I agree, definitely buyer beware! When I started collecting I purchased a helmet with this Wappen from a seller in country Victoria in Australia.....fake....fake....fake!! I should have done my research better so certainly learnt my lesson. I understand that Amy knows this seller well!! Yap I know ...

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

You robbing thief
I have it free
Just pay for postage and I think you will need to hold your sh*t for two weeks for TP to arrive anywhere

Yes this helmet was the talk of the show when the item was pulled out together with many others good helmets.

Then all the other good helmets got sold and this one was left there for days.

Well I am happy to post toilet paper to anyone who needs it. We have plenty here for now. Masks, 70% alcohol, sanitiser, wipes, alcohol swabs etc are all out but one can get it on a local selling platform if you are willing to pay the price. Last week, just mailed a box of quality masks (50pcs) to a...

Hmm, I am a slow learner. Stitching already took me a while to figure out and do a good job, then comes cleaning which I am still learning, so lacquering is out of the question for me. I don't even lacquer my fingernails, what's more lacquering the shells ...Way to go , way to learn for me.....

Wow, very nice. I am jealous.

Wow, collection is growing. Congrats

Well that dealer sure has paid a high price for it as it didn't go cheap on this helmet at the C&T auction

Alex how did you get that helmet?

Just checked I no 1860 for sale at moment. Sorry. Have few of them, all too good to go.

Nice finds!

The model 1860 or the 1915 model?

Alan,
Am sure Matthew is happy to take them back in the condition that you have received

Amy ; I know that you mean D R 19 Oldenburg . I did see that front plate and it is a "frosty " beauty . I agree it was too much at $ 1,800.He did have other nice items which someone beat me to so I had to deal with them to get them .My 2 Garde D R officer epaulettes and shoulder strap pai...

Good find Alan. I am jealous.

Nice finds.

Congrats

Lovely. There is also a dragoon 18 badge for sale at the show. Very nice bagde with a very 'nice' price at 1800 just for the badge

Dang, you bought more at one show than I've purchased in 50 years of collecting (well almost more). See guys, Amy being female doesn't have to explain her purchases to the wife. Well I thought I have to hide some prices from my husband but so far I don't need too cos I want to be a honest wife lol ...

Nice haul Amy! Sorry we didn't get to meet up at the show - always next year.

No problem, Peter.

I save up for the show and I spent everything so that's just nice lol

Now I am on my way back to Los Angeles to catch my flight.

Glad to see all the guys again.

Hi Arran

I have attached pic of the collector.

He is supposed to send me emails on one of his other helmets.

If he sent me an email, I will keep you informed.

Can anybody tell me whose display this is?

He is a collector. I cannot remember his name though but prices are very negotiable

Which helmet are you after?
