But..but.. it must be real!!..its rusty and its on a tree stump and it came from a flea market and everything :D Andy

Perhaps the guy that made it was so overcome with guilt he decided to destroy it! :D Then again..perhaps not #-o Andy

Yep I see the bidding is creeping up, I have very little info on these things and I hate bidding on things I`m not sure about Andy

Yep Ive read that post from end to end, but this is a stahlhelm cover. Im sure things like stitching etc will be similar, but fixing methods, hole re-enforcements etc these are not covered in this post. Andy

I know very little about these, but I`m assuming this is repro, simply because the bidding is so low. I thought they attached with more hooks also. Anyone able to enlighten me? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WK1-Stahlhelm-Uberzug-WW1-helmet-cover-/330701990707?pt=Militaria&hash=item4cff5feb33 Andy

Herman the Hun in his dugout. I tried to capture the mood by playing with the camera settings, but without a tripod and well..I`m no photographer, but you get the idea. The pick hes holding was found in a dug out and I remade the handle based on measurements taken from period pictures, I`m...

He has been contacted by several members of this forum (including myself) about some of his previous items and always refuses to accept that they are flawed or fake. Even the two haube in the list above have faults. The Baden has extra holes behind the wappen and the Guard looks like the side...

Hes branching out...

Perhaps the display stand is original and the fruit bowl was added later? Just thinking outside of the box :D Andy

Seems he was the winning bidder..1575 feedbacks for both. Surely he cant think he will make money on it? Andy

There will be more Edwin I`m sure :) Andy

probably didnt even come from Verdun..just makes a fancy selling story. There is no way it goes with the leather.

Yep looks like a lot of damaged bits stuck on an old shell for effect. Spike looks like genuine battle damage, but from the entry and exit angle you would have to say that the unfortunate soul who was wearing it probably didn`t survive. It must have been a very close ground burst and I`m...

I have the book mentioned in the link above `The Imperial German Regimental Markings` by Jeff Noll It is very good, explains how the markings worked and also lists hundreds of known examples. It was hard to get hold of it as I remember and I got no response from contacting him through the site.

12,550 euros!!! that is nearly £10,500!! To think I was looking at this and thinking I couldnt be sure the helmet wasnt an aged repo shell with original bits added. You can say that again!!

Truly unbelievable, what must these people be thinking??? Shameful.

Its gone..$710. This ebay policy of hiding bidders identity is making it really easy for guys like this :x

I was wondering about these, but it seems to me the spike is brass and what parts of the trim you can see is bare metal and not brass? Also the liner, it dosn`t have the correct profile. On both my JzP , the liner band curves up to follow the shape of the trim above the ears. This one seems more...

It is a nice, clean example so I guess the "bid kiddies" will get into a war over who holds first place ](*,) but you never know. I always snipe auctions, that way I can decide how much I am prepared to pay and never need to look at the item again. Andy

:D Sounds like hurry up Andy and reply Pierre. Dont worry I havnt forgotten. I did try to respond, but as I said my p.c. decided to install updates at 2:30 in the morning. I`m very busy at the moment, fitting the new kitchen I have been promising my good lady for months, so I only have a few...
