Bruno, Yes, the Dragoon Officer appears to have all of the parts. The 115 has the missing parts. Both need TLC but the Dragoon Officer alone is worth more than the winning bid. Bill

Final bid was $2000 + 15% Bill

FIFTY HELMETS!!!!! I feel like a total failure. Congratulations on your latest. Bill

Images are posted on their web site. Both helmets need some TLC and are missing some very important parts..... 1621 ribbon and the star of the Hessen order of Ludwig. These would be very hard to come by. I bet that they go for a good price even with the missing parts. Bill

Tony, What a superb helmet. Congratulations on both counts…..a new helmet and a new degree. I did note that the line eagle wrappen was specifically made for the Landwehr cross as its position is incised directly on to the eagle’s breast and then the cross applied. Is this unique to the 1842...

Hi Gus, Did you have a chance to look at the IR 94 helmet at the SOS? I have looked at many helmets and this one looked soooo good. I doubt if anyone would have guessed that it was a repro.... and that includes Herr Kube. The key was the back of the helmet and yes I bet that they now look...

This helmet from Braunschweig is one of the most desirable pickelhauben to collectors. Braunschweig had only one Reg., IR92 so the numbers available are quite small. The helmet plate should have the Furst motto. In my opinion the helmet on E-bay is an incorrect plate ( and a waste of $2750). A...

Joe just informed me that the Pony Express should deliver my copy to me tomarrow or the next day or the next.... It is wonderful living in the Great American Desert. I am already lusting after the helmets from IR 92 & 94. Bill

The description is refering to the cockades:" Mit Reichskokarde u. preuß. Kokarde (nach der veralteten Vorschrift für nichtbraunschweig. Regimentsangehörige)." If I am translating this correctly it is saying that the regulation for Braunschweig was outdated. I agree with Joe... when was this...

Just a short note to thank everyone for a great weekend at the SOS. It has grown into quite the affair since it was just Gus, Chas, and myself last year. I am sure that it will be bigger and better next year. I will take Joe's advice and be there by Wed. evening. If you arrive on Friday as I did...

Thanks Pete. I appreciate the reply. I was concerned that something had happened to him. Bill

Eric, Welcome to the Forum. If we limit our discussion to just the helmet plate I am not sure that I would trash it. I would request additional pictures of the helmet but the plate looks good to me. I would be interested in hearing Tony's observations. Bill

Hi Joe, Super job with the shirts!!!! For myself I shop in the small and runty dept. so I will look like Yoda at the SOS..... but who cares! Thanks Joe. Looking forward to meeting everyone at the SOS. Bill

Haube Lovers: I have just returned from a little mid- winter vacation and have been catching up on all of the e-mails and pickelhaube dealers web pages. I noticed that Herr Semino's web site was no longer available. Over the last few months his inventory was slowly depleated. Does anyone know...

Marshall, Wonderful helmet and a great find. I will bet that it will not be your last. I cannot disagree with anything that has been said here. I would say that Tony is right about the chickens and the quartermaster. Ditto for the comments on the build batch numbers. These numbers would be...

Paul' Try this site for your replicas. http://www.derdienst.com/iron_cross.htm

Mike Thank you for the enlargement of the photo. It clearly shows a standard Prussian line eagle helmet plate. There seems to be a question on the type of helmet plate that the officers of the third Bat IR 55 wore. If the honorary commander of the Bat. wore a standard plate with no Lippe...

Mike, Not sure how I was listed as a guest in the previous post as I was logged in.... strange. Bill

Chas, you are a naughty boy. Trying to use those ten cent words. "Dexter" is referring to the right side of the award grouping. You need to be punished...... so to atone for your sins you need to immediately send me both of the metal bars. Thanks. Don’t you feel better Chas???

To all of my good friends on Pickelhaube Forum....Let's not forget a little Peace on Earth. I hope next year is good for all. Bill
