Yesterday another 2ér spange arrived here, Wurttemberg verdienst medaille and EK2. So now I have 7 in the collection. Regards, Coert.

Volumes 2, 3, 4, and 5 arrived at my house yesterday! I already had volume 1, but will order the other volumes too, when ready and offered for sale here. Thanks a lot @Mecklenburg !

A very nice Bavarian M15! Congratulations, (y) Regards, Coert.

The one on the right is an older helmet, see the date on the rear visor, which was reissued as an M15. So all brass parts were removed, and exchanged for the grey ones. Both of them look completely original, nice gifts!

Well Tony, I did have one with a steel reinforcing band just like the one you saw. Here is the topic where it was discussed. It was the first one I came across, never saw others before, but they do seem to exist though. https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/bavarian-ersatz-filz.15854/ The...

An excellent helmet, and a nice wappen to boot! Congratulations Tony (y)

Very nice! Did you also visit the small village of St-Julien? There, this first gas attack took place, also, slightly north of it, is Kitchener's wood, where also a lot things happened then, during second Ypres. I am also going to visit Ypres, and the salient in a few weeks time again. I visit...

Excellent site! Thanks a lot for sharing this. Best regards, Coert.

So do I Francis, the book & corrections sheet arrived this afternoon here, I'm very happy to have it in my reference book library now! The US postal service was very fast indeed. Thanks again James for the book! Best regards, Coert.

Thanks, I just placed an order for it. I hope it arrives soon! Regards, Coert.

I fully agree with that, the collection there is really awesome. I saw most of it on display there, it needs to be seen for all, they keep it above now, but a book, showing all would be excellent. I can understand why they keep it so private, none the less, it should be seen.

Not that I know of, here is the webshop of Huis Doorn, no mention of it. I also saw nothing like that when I visited Huis Doorn in 1992. https://www.huisdoorn.nl/webshop/

Welcome here on the forum John! (y) I am just like any other member here, would like to see pictures of you collection too. Regards from the Netherlands, Coert.

Hi Katie, I fully agree with Brian on this, a good and totally original Prussian infantry officer helmet. I like the photo's, liner show some wear, but hey, wouldn't we all after all those years? Most of the time, the silk interior can be gone, (sometimes only the sweatband is present) on your...

Hi Katie, Welcome here. I agree with Amy and Meme32 on this haube, it has indeed all the features of an Infantry officer, Prussia. Please share, like others stated, some more pictures of it here, so we can tell exactly. But it seems to me, you had a great purchase there! And volume one book from...
