Very cool these huge old pickelhauben. I've never seen one from Baden. How many of these old types have you managed to find until now?

Feel free to elaborate on the back ground of the owner if you please. I never came to dive into it.

Now I see it indeed. The J and I are different. :) Thank you for the nice comment. There aren't any markings or references to a previous owner to research unfortunately. I bought the helmet about 10 years ago from Karel van Bosstraeten. There was no Reickskokarde back then and I must say I...

Thanks Philippe. Am I seeing that correctly that they want 360 for it? That's quite a number.. I have a Haube of the regiment from the same year and also with the double regimental mark. Any idea why that was done?

Hi, I am looking for the regimental history of IR 75. But even more specifically for information on their actions in August and september 1914. Is there anyone who could assist with that please? Rgds

That's a very nice Württemberger indeed. I really love that you can see where the hooks of the überzug were attached all those years ago! I noticed I have a Hipp on the shelf as well. :cool:

My oh my. Those are way too many Oldenburg helmets for one person to have. :cool: I wanted to pick a favorite but they all look amazing!

That is indeed a great weapon in apparently a very beautiful condition. Well done. I really like the (underappreciated) Gewehr 88 and this has a similar look. I wouldn't say no to this either.

Those are super cool. Unfortunately laws have been getting ever stricter. This one is deactiveren by German law or by recent EU regulations?

Very beautiful uniforms in amazing conditions. I don't know the first thing about Italian militaria unfortunately but these are all very attractive pieces.

Brutal stuff these man-to-man warfare waepons. Great to have original pictures included as well.

I love a good shaped mannequin with a nice face. It really lifts already outstanding pieces to a new level! Stunning indeed.

I'm looking forward to the pictures!

Only one reply on this nice JzP? That's a shame cause it's a very nice piece. :) I understand you gave it shelter in your home.:cool: A lobstertail helmet is still missing in my collection. I'm sure a nice one will come by sooner or later.

It doesn't get any better than that. Absolutely splendid condition!
