Not sure what this one is.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/STEEL-WW1-GERMAN-PICKELHAUBE-HELMET-PRUSSIAN-RUSSIAN-ANTIQUE-IMPERIAL-BAVARIAN-/190604025503?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c60e29e9f#ht_3740wt_1110

Take a look at his other auctions.....did this seller tear apart this pickelhaube to sell the pieces?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spike-Helmet-Bavarian-officer-parts-body-/290626297065?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43aaad5ce9" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; If its an original, I...

I like this one a lot....hope the the seller posts some inside pics. http://www.ebay.com/itm/140620523178?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Although there's some cracking on it, the shell looks out of place compared with the other pieces, almost as if the liner and visor/bill were attached to a newer shell? Even though i've seen examples where the visor is crazed and the shell isn't....this shell just doesn't seem right with the...

Thanks for the tip! Oh, and the avatar is my school ID picture.

Hello, I just purchased this Bavarian Raupenhelm from a friend who was at a flea-market. Unfortunately on its way to me the original chinstrap broke. It's a clean break and i'd like to repair it and i'm looking for advice. The leather isn't that stiff but it's cracked. I don't trust a...

Hello, if you are looking for this specific model (zinc fittings) then go ahead and bid. The front plate is in good shape, and the leather is intact even though there is some cracking, I think it looks good. You might have to look around for the right quality of parts. Good luck!

Hello everyone, i'm feeling pretty dumb here. A friend of mine sent me these pictures since I have several pickelhaubes. I've seen this type SOMEWHERE...but I can't remember/find it. Any help?? Than...
