    Interesting Prussian Artillerie M1915 Ersatz Felt Pickelhaube CEF Veteran Bringback

    M15 shako

    German Aviation Patriotic Pin

    German Aviation Patriotic Pin

    Thanks James. They say buy the item, not the story, but the lady who sold it to me (from Winnipeg Manitoba), said her Grandfather brought it back from WWI. So a bit of history.
