Well, I was very interested in the Oldenburg M15 helmet, had a lot of messages with Steve, who got in contact with me via his son, Steve let me know he would pass it on to me, but only after he would pass the here and now for the afterlife. I never heard from his son after Steve's passing. It...

I'm sure you can do a great job on this one Brian! Having seen many of your restoration projects. But a question from me, is, or was Steve's collection for sale, after he passed away? Regards, Coert.

I am also not very good in researching too, but our member @argonne sure is. He found out the history of 2 of my haubes. I printed it out, and keep it with the 2 pickelhauben. Welcome here! Regards, Coert.

Great news! I'm looking forward to the pictures of the chinscales when they are finished, and fitted to your DR24 helmet! Regards, Coert.
