    Best camera & software for online photography

    There are many, many good cameras to choose from. You do not have to have the latest super high mega-pixel camera to take good close-up shots. You just need to make sure that you choose one with a "Macro" setting. I use an old Nikon coolpix with good results and my wife has an even older...

    Kokade qouetion

    Thanks guys for the help :D The reason I asked this is that I had seen a Prussion m1895 with 2 black / white kokades on it. I remembered reading that in 1897 they changed to the different kokades but it made me think what would have been appropriate for 1895-1896. Thanks again. Greg

    Kokade qouetion

    If I understand this correctly. In 1897 Prussion spikes added the red and white rosette. Does that mean that up untill that time there would be helmets with the same rosette on both sides? Say a Prussion m1895 with the black and white on both sides. Thanks, Greg

    Hessian units 1914/18

    Very interesting discussion. I am very impressed with the amount of research being done regarding the the various regiment and unit markings. It really brings a sense of history to the helmet. While not pickelhaube related here is a little Prussion/Hessian piece. It is a miniature award (for...
