:? Huh now the price went back down to $450. Guess he can't make up his mind?...

Great haube! Great find! I see what you mean and why you bought it. It has alot of character, all the markings really tell the story of its long journey through history. I'm glad you rescued it. In my opinion all pickelhaubes are scarce, ... some just more than others :D

Peter, where I'm an open minded person, someone who values ALL opinions, I couldn't help but find myself questioning your "broad" dislike for what I would consider creativity- especially that of the cinematic kind. Many of the obscure historical moments in time you mentioned are better suited to...

Very interesting design for a gas mask seller states its adapted from a pickelhaube. http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTIQUE-ghostly-WWI-German-gas-mask-/300425239939?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f2bd5d83

Hmmm... interesting. I'll have to look into this. Well thanks guys always appreciated. :D

Exactly! I mean come on SPACE NAZIS! How can that not be fun!

:thumb up: Very cool Joe! Looks MINT! Thats not one you see very often!

I stumbled upon this teaser movie trailer for "Iron Sky",Just watch the whole thing to the end. It's a very interesting concept! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn4DW1uvsAE&feature=player_embedded

oh Ok, Cool! I didn't know. I now can be super confident if I ever bid on anything! Thanks!

I didn't know that Pickelhaubes.com had a collection and is selling items on Ebay...? I was curious, The seller "baxiv" states in all his auctions "Bid with confidence, part of the pickelhaubes.com collection." Is this person a member?.... I was just wondering. ~Max

GOOD GOD! almost $1600 bucks! :violent1: what a sucker... I'm sure we'll see this POS helmet again, it keeps making its tour around the world. I should buy it.....so I can BURN it to ashes never to be seen again!

Oh boy... now that you said that, I've been staring at that mark for hours! NOW I can't really tell, it looked like a "3", but I think it's possibly a "B"! Looks like there is a faint line at the back part of this "3"...or"B"!!! Its hard to see it clearly. I need to find my magnifying glass...

Alright so I couldn't resist this deal, the price was too good. Offering back and forth for a while and in the end my friend ended up taking 100$ and I traded 6 WWII bayonets for this helmet. The knives met nothing to me, they were nothing special mostly Turkish and Czech surplus. Worth no more...

I guess the guy who won it isn't happy with it... Cause its up for sale again! Wondering if he'll make his money back...? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230461464105&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Yeah, A Parts helmet makes sense. I seems to look thrown together.

Hey, I'm pretty sure the national with no lip is just a poor reproduction. Its hard to tell from the photos, they look to have an excess amount of paint on them, which takes away from the detail. But all the cockades I own have a lip around the ring. But I might be wrong, Would love to know more...

He almost made it...

Thanks Ron, your talking sense, I'm only considering the EM Baden if its a dirt cheap price. And I only thought my Ebay bargain helmet wasn't a bad price because with the way prices are now a days, if I tried building that helmet with buying original parts , I would have easily spent more than...
