That's the book I have. Good reading and great pictures!

Yeah!! I love some of his paintings. I believe he is one of the pioneers of the Kustom Kulture, along with Von Dutch.. I have in a book somewhere another picture of his collection. Von Dutch produced plastic helmets in the 60's or 70's in the shape of a german steel helmet, would be nice to...

Now I know where all the nice pickelhaubes disappear to in Belgium :D Love the uniforms too.. Prachtige collectie Adler!!! Jo

oh my..... Quite impressive to see all those beautiful pieces in one picture! Thanks for showing your collection. :thumbright: Jo

Great job Tony, must have taken a long time but it sure is worth it! I only know your site for 2 months now, but it already helped me out a lot. Thanks for all the effort you put into this!! Amazing pieces... Are they all from your personal collection?

Yes thank you Mike, it sure is a lovely site!

Looking great! Love your StarWars-collection too. Brings back memories :)

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I'm not an expert and new in to pickelhaubes, but I was wondering why a fireman would paint/camouflage his helmet? The seller told me they painted it, instead of having to use the cover. Is this correct? Was it a common thing? What would be a good price...

Hi guys, I would like your opinion on this one. Is it original and if so, something special? There are no extra holes in the helmet and the shield seems to have been there for a long time. The pin however is a slightly different tint of green. What would be its value? Thanks :) Jo p.s...
