    Napoleonica

    I remember when I was just starting out on the collecting journey in the 1970's the show I liked the most was the Lower Canada Arms Collectors shows held at the armouries of the Royal Montreal Regiment.

    Bruno: I can't recall exactly. It was eleven years ago., but I think I still have photos I took prior to selling most of the helmets. I'll have a look around to see if I can find them

    Attaching a photo of the collection prior to the 2014 "downsizing". I forgot that I also had a Garde Eiisenbahn helmet with the Landwehr Eagle. Double Butt Kicking now !!

    A beautiful helmet! Makes me kick myself for including mine in the "downsizing" back in 2014. I found it in Oshawa Ontario back around 1980 along with a photo of the owner playing cards in uniform. Duh!

    Andy: Thanks for this. I have a Depehag officers helmet but I've never encountered one of these "cardboard" helmets. It's an interesting topic.

    EM helmet M1895 of the Infantry Regiment (1st Hanoverian) No. 74

    Sandy: Nice looking helmet and lots of detail regarding its construction. I'll have to pull mine off the shelf and have another detailed look at it. Thanks for sharing it.

    Hussaren Busby Question

    Using my wife’s iPad which explains the previous truncated message. I’m in Italy at the moment. Meant to say nice to see that you “pulled the trigger” on that opportunity. It looks like a nice piece.

    How To Paint Grey Metal Parts Quick, Easy and Realistic

    That's quite a transformation and certainly better than leaving them "as found" in rusted condition in my view.

    My first restoration project, a prussian M1895 Kugelhelm

    Nice job of bringing this piece back to life.

    Saxon anyone? LGR100

    Philippe: A very fine example of the Saxon Leib Grenadier O.R.'s helmet.

    glengarry

    The construction of the Glengarry appears correct. I've owned a few of these over the years when I was collecting C.E.F. I can't render an opinion on the British cap badge.

    Need help prussian Spike

    I'd be surprised if there's a single part that's original, (n)

    109th Baden Leib Grenadiers

    Steve: Well to start I think I'd concentrate on collecting the units that had distinctive Wappens, but yes ultimately the Prussian Grenadier regiments as well. It's pretty unlikely I'll get to that point before they cart me off to "the home" Steve ;)
