Hi Tony, Yes, it does looks like a fluted spike. Is it possible to narrow down the list? Fluted spike, square front visor, and what appears to be a convex chinscales. There shouldnt be too many of the 'sun burst' shaped wappen that fits with the above charateristics. Cheers, BB

Hi gang, I stumbled upon this: http://www.derrittmeister.com/productpages/04460.htm asking price? Its $ 17.0000. Now, abt the MINENWERFER KOMPAGNIE, I only read abt their wherebeing on Stubbs' book, and he only mentioned it in the passing, there are no pics of the unit's haubes are depicted...

:D :D thats a good one, Chas. You have magnificent haubes there! Congrats on yr 50! As for the lighthouse thing, where can someone who is nt residing the US or Canada, could get one of that? Cheers, Bambang

Hi Bruno, Yr comment is very interesting, is this always the case for wartime helmets? I never pay attention abt silk liners until now. I always thought that these silk liners are all the same regardless of the period. Hi Joe, Yr Prussian office reserve pics are rather foggy, is the wappen...

Hi Bruno, Thanks for the reply, I wasnt aware of the griffin's color until you pointed it out, you are right, the griffin looks dull. As for the helmet itself, why the white colored spike base? Is this a wartime pvt purchase helmet? Cheers, BB

more pics, bear with me pls.

Hi guys, Need help on this Baden officer haube, the seller assures me that it has no extra holes, the kokarden look repro, I think the helmet is a wartime pvt purchase one. What do you think? Should I go for it? Sorry for the many pics. Thanks Bambang

Darn , thats very envious, you guys get to hang around together and play with each other haubes. BB

Hi guys, Thank you so much! I just came back from an overnite stay with my visiting mother in law and Sean. Yes, goodthings do happen on birthday, I am a birthday father now! :D Thank you so much, guys. Bambang

A father from this year onwards, 13 July 1969 :D Yep, nt getting any younger. BB

What abt the spike? Perhaps we can determine it through the spike, is it a fluted or a non fluted spike. Does Saxon/Meck/Strelitz has a fluted/non fluted spike? BB

Hi Joe, Now here is another confusing haube, it has round dome studs, pvt purchase wappen, visor trims etc, but has a double rings kokarden, what is it? Portapee NCO who bought his haube privately? Fahnrich? hope the pic come out fine. Is this the correct way to post pic? The image wll...

Tony, Thats a stunning piece you have there, the very first haube. Is the leather much thicker compared to the later haubes? The superb condition of the haube surprises me, even the top part isnt sunken like most later haubes do, as the cruciform spike base usually weighted it down. Double...

Hi guys, I cant really determine what wappen are those soldiers wearing? A saxon? But they appear to be too big and massive for a Saxon wappen. What are those actually...

Hi Joe, I thinkI begin to get the hang it. As for "Rings started at Portapeeunterofficier", how many rings does a portapeeunterofficier has? 1 ring or double rings like officer's? And what rank does portapeeunterofficier begun from? Was it Vizefeldwebel onwards? Thanks BB

Hi gang, Yes, Tony, you are right, i was often trapped into judging a haube by READING the description given by the seller. Sooo, if a haube has a EM kokarden but pvt purchase charateristic, then it must be an pvt purchase EM haube. Then is there such thing as NCO kokarden? How can we tell...

Hi guys, I though I understand abt the so called NCO kokarde, but when I read some references again, I ended up confused. Is there such thing as the NCO kokarde? Some says that NCOs used a 'single ring' kokarde, but there are many 'NCO' haubes that has an EM kokarde, frankly speaking, I dont...
