HI guys, I am puzzled by this M15 metalhelme, from the spike, spike base, the visor etc, its obvious that its a M15 kurassier, but why the dark colour? I thought M15 kurassier helmets are more or less shinny polished metal, whereas the M15 JzP is of a dark/blue coloured...

Hi Tony, Excellent job! Thats a great help to collectors, will read it again and again Cheers, Bambang

Hi Tony, Could it be because its a '1867' haube? Weitze once told me that the 1867 haube is somewhat understated, undervalued etc, he said that most people tends to skip or overlook the 1867 as its not as magnificent as the later haubes, and at the same time disregarding the historical value...

Hi Chas, Yes, you are so right, I was burn once on ebay last year, someone pretended to be the seller and contacted me that the winner had rejected the haube, well, it was a saxon EM, and very stupidly, out of impulse and 'happiness', i didnt even check and agreed and wired the payment asap, of...

Hi guys, I hope I post this question in the correct thread. I noticed that all the sovereign of the 19th and early 20th century, including the Kaiser and Tsar Nicholas II were always dressed as girls when they were very young. Is there any reason for doing that? And did the commoners did...

Hi Gus, Yes, you are right, like Tony said, never says never in this hobby. But, does anyone has any M15 kurassier liner thats identical with mine? And what liner it actually is? And Chip, Too late, its being stimulated now! :D Thanks BB

Hey Ghus man, :D Thanks for the pics, yes, the liner does looks different. This kurassier was the 2nd haube that I bought, was relying on 'gut feeling' and excitement rather than knowledge, darn! :? As for my liner, what is it actually, is it original? I mean, was it taken from some other...

Hi Chas and Al, Thank you for the reply. Chas, is it normal for a metalhelme to have a replaced tongue? Was it replaced during wartime or post war? Al, yes, mine is also stamped 1916, do you have any pics of yr kurassier? I will be a daddy in March 2006! :D :D We are very excited now, have...
