Hi Guys, Some of the helmets I have been asking about have recieved comments about having the wrong style (flat/vaulted) scales on the chin straps. I realise I have no clue knowing which helmets should have which style. I am sure someday I will but first things first.---Can someone please...

Thanks for all the help. I thought if it were dropped that would explain the crushed body, damaged threads to the spike and the slight dented tip of the spike. It may have all happened in one stupid mistake. greg

So I was cruising ebay looking at hauben trying to learn what is good and what is bad. I came across this Wurtemburg helmet. ( Iam not thinking of buying this one, it is just a learning tool ) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330263257300&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014...

The back side--

"it's a very nice and rare cross" Yes it is . The KMST slide back cross is one of the very hardest to find 1914 EKs and command a premium price when they are found. Here is mine to compare against--

Here are some of my 1870s and a 1813--

That's what Tony has been telling me for months. So I have been trying to learn what to look for when searching for my first helmet. Take a look at this one and see if I am close on my assessment...

From one new guy to another--welcome. This looks like a nice place to hang out !

I'm sorry I must not have read that right. Did you say "Idaho" or I don't think so. Thanks again, guys. Greg

I live in Gods country but sneak into Minnesota everyday for work. As long as you don't make eye contact and hide your wallet you are usually safe :D

I will be at the MN.State fairgrounds show in September. I look forward to meeting any and all members. I go every year. I hardly buy anything but in the last 20years I've been going, I have made some friends and get to talk with other forum (WAF) members.

Thanks for the quick replys. I am already learning things I did not know. Including the bit about the stars. Thanks

Those are pretty big words :-P I appreciate your adding my avatar AND all of the rest of your help.

Here is the first of what will most likely be many rookie questions.--- On several Prussian spikes that I have looked at, there are 2 knurled rings in the spike about 1/3 of way up. This ebay helmet is an example--...

Thanks for the kind welcome. I have a very small budget to work with so I am sure that I will settle on a common Prussian helmet. However I want an officers model with brass trim and chin scales. My goal here is to learn enough about them to tell real from fake and to not completely over pay...

My name is Greg. many of you might know me from the WAF and GMIC forums. I have come here to learn a little about Pickelhauben. I have a collection of Imperial EKs and want to add a spike or two to the display. I have spent a couple months trying to learn what to look for in my first helmet so...
