Exciting helmet,Tony. It does not need any other comments. Can you tell me,please, since which date the bandeau has been added to the helmet plate? Thanks,Alexandr

I think it would be very interesting for all of us to see your helmet in as found condition.....Perhaps somebody can advise you the best way how to "treat" your helmet. Best regards,Alexandr

Hi Anton, welcome here in the forum.I am realy happy that this info have helped you.I hope that you will share with your new "catch". Best regards,Alexandr

Forwarded for Bruno: Your helmet is perfectly genuine and excellent. Congratulations. I have attached pictures of his cousin. It is an older model Oldenburg Dragoner officer helmet. See the similarities with yours (shape, short spike, cockade...). The only problem of mine is that it is missing...

Hi friends, thanks to all of you for informations- yes,now I am happy of my helmet again.All the clouds of doubts are swept away! To Arran- this info " helmet was for daily wear and the owner would have had another for parade" this is very valuable info for me. To Reservist1-very nice...

Hello friends, first of all my best wishes and Happy New Year 2009 to all of you here. And now to my topic: Time ago I have bought this on eBay and I was happy. But after some days I have started to have some doubts about some aspects of this helmet.I am a bit familiar with prussian infantery...

Hi Tony, I think that such a change must be great event in everybodie´s life. I wish you all the best in your future life and to keep your spirit. By the way...the helmet is really great! Alexandr

I understand your displaying fear from the "treatment" .But I have long time expiereance.I got this advice, lot of years ago, from one very old saddler.He told me he never met a better substance then "Indulona"/the trade mark/, for the dry leather, in his own life.First I have started to use...

Hi Mark, thanks a lot for the detailed infos and pictures of the helmet stands.It is very good-very simple but effective. I will try to let it make here-instead of complicated arrangement from USA. Your Hannoverian helmet is wonderfull-that is all I can say.I see it first time now,so any...

Tony-sorry ,I was not sure what did you mean-so this must be the right one. It is the same on both sides. I can´t make better shot because of the dry liner-I am afraid of rupture. I am going to saturate the leather with some ointment with fat and water. Many thanks to other guys for so nice...

Yes-the neck of the spike rotates-see pictures-open and closed. Tony, I hope you ment this shots of the chinstrap buckle-hope this help. Up to the replacing the Wappen-yes-I would like- if I had any!!

Hello to all, Let me introduce you my : Prussian M.1887

Mark- it is unbelievable.... I can´t speak-I can´t breathe. In one word : "Collector´s Heaven" Can you show us the type of wooden holder? It must be special diameter for each one,or not? Thanks for sharing, Alexandr

Hello Tony , thank you for your fast response. Nevertheles it seems to me quite strange that the upgrading of the old-former helmet would have been done from a half only.There is also quite big disproportion of the look of these helmets.The performed upgrading refered to quite extensive cut...

Hello Tony,Franco and all other guys, I reveal this your discusion in former topics and I need to clear here little discrepancy facing this wonderful and rare mod.1887. Tony has introdused to me this helmet in his "Bunkr" webs- as a new type,with the new pattern of base-spike:no perlings and 5...

Tony, thank you for your help and informations. Best regards for Eric-thank you. Alexandr

Thank you Toni, the inscription is F.A.R 10- see the new scan. I believe this has to be Feldartilerie Reigemt von Scharnhorst Nr.10 -was founded 1830 year. To compare to 10. Niedersachsisches Fußartillerie-Regiment which was founded 1871 year. I guess this could not have this M.1867,could he...

Hello, all of you, I am showing you here my last picklehaube-bought couple of weeks ago on eBay.The pictures have been taken just after I took it from the box. I belive it is M.1867 for Artillery-due to the sealed inscription on the inner surface F.A.R 10- FeldArtillery Regiment No.10./clearly...

Thank you very much Tony and take my appologize-about your webs! Yes, it is that type! I can´t uderstand how I didn´t get the idea to think about this kind of the helmet. It´s clear now. Alexandr

Hi Brian and Tony, thanks a lot for your prompt response. Up to the kokardes- yes I know that the older types were larger-but this diameter I didn´t find in Tonie´s Evalution guide-there are mentioned kokardes of 57 mm. Up to missing tip- It didn´t seem to me like a spot on photo-that´s why I...
