Here's the interior.

I've been looking for one like this for a while . . . Saxon M1895 EM artillery Haube. I believe it must have been a private purchase helmet; the leather, though worn, is in outstanding condition. It has no marks to it on the inside, except for the owner's name, which was written into the rear...

Bruno: What a beautiful helmet! Congratulations, and thanks for showing us. David

That's a beautiful helmet, James. The condition is absolutely amazing. It makes me think I need to learn more about these early helmets! One question that pops into my head is about the rosette with the Bavarian colors: When did kingdoms/states start using kokards or rosettes as identifiers...

Wow. WOW. Blindingly stunning, Tony :glasses8: Congratulations! David

This is one of those not-a-stunner-but-one-I-really-like kind of helmet. Some of you probably saw it on ebay. Neat story behind it: the seller lives only 20 minutes from me, so I went and picked it up from him. Turns out he's a retired physician who happens to know my father (also a physician)...

Uff Da! That's cool, Gus. I'm going to have to drag my dad to some gun shows to see what he gets me. Can't wait til you figure out how to post some more so maybe we can see a pic of the markings! David

Fabulous, as always Tony. That Saxon group knocks me out. Congratulations! Dave

Hi, Chip: Yes, it's a slightly elastic cord, and it's simply threaded through the grommets and the two ends tied and knotted on the inside. Why don't you post a pic or two of your 108th? David

What a beautiful helmet, Dave. Wow. Thanks for posting!

Give in, Joe. :glasses8:

THANKS! With the search for the haarbusch and the kokards, this Tschako could become a hobby unto itself. The search is on . . .

I'm pretty excited with this one: An M 1915 A Saxon Jaeger tschako marked to the Jaeger Btln 13. The Wappen is the correct small size, appx. 82 mm across (I should add that the flash in the photo is exaggerating the discoloration a bit). It's obviously missing the haarbusch, the liner string...

I've collected a number of wwii German helmets, and I can say I would not buy any of the wwii helmets that I see on that site, Lyndon. No way. I think folks are giving you good advice about Collector's Guild. Frankly, the best way to go about getting a good, authentic WWII lid is getting to...

Outstanding Waffenrock and haube. Thanks for showing us! Man, I'd love to get my hands on a Sachsen infantry mannschaft haube like that. David

Nothing meagre about that kraetzchen, Brian! That's a nice picture you took of it, but it looked even better in person. David

Tony: I'm going to get a reputation as a button charity case. It's just a button for the rear skirt of the waffenrock . . . no biggie. If I can't find one soon, I'll let you know. Thanks! Gus: Why would anyone want to kick your butt? Besides, I make it a matter of principle never to take on any...

Gus: Uff da? Is that a way to treat a fellow Svenska? What is this world coming to? OK . . . I'll find a new forum name. I'm going to think it through this time. David

Wow, James. Great looking helmets. I saw when you brought back the police helm. But that Bavarian is fantastic, esp with the unit stamp. I'm going to get there on Thursday next year. It was fun getting to meet you guys. Thanks for your hospitality at the table! David

Well, the gang at the SOS saw this pair . . . A 9th Jaeger Btln Tschako and a matching waffenrock. The waffenrock was displayed at the front of the hall, right as you walk in, the Tschako seemed to appear later in the day at the table of a pickelhaubes.com member--Jerry. The Tschako itself is...
