Beautiful condition and a huge size for any pickelhaube! This should go quick! 👍 :)

Oh no!:oops: So what is the brass container for...tobacco??

Thanks for the post Erik, it was a pleasure to meet you at the Show! The first of many I hope.

Welcome to the forum! That is one heck of a man cave you have there!

We had a couple of good conversations with the son. Our first time meeting him, apparently Dad took him through his Hussar collection before coming to the show.

Indeed, I pride myself on the fact that this forum unlike others, has not devolved into petty squabbles. There is no need for us to go there. I did have an email from good old Ebay saying that anything valued at $800 or less wouldn't be taxed but who knows??

This is a small but perfect example of how tariffs really work. The Canadian bought items in the US and was charged a tariff when she crossed the border back into her country. The Canadian paid, not the Americans. The reverse is true now for anything bought by the US from Canada, Mexico or...

Interesting concept Ed.....nice to see some humour during these difficult times.

My first thought is sniper ie. cross hairs. I have never seen this before though.

A rare old beauty in awesome condition! 👍😊

Good point Sandy and yes another example of original hex nuts being used!

Good on ya! We love to have young collectors here on the forum! :) 👍

As I mentioned at the Show Chas, when time permits I will post my panoramic photo of the the 216th Battalion Lewis gun section taken at Davenport Barracks Toronto in 1916. Three LG's are shown in this picture.

More photos: For our friends in the UK A surprising sight....6 dudes dressed up as WW2 Japanese soldiers at the Show. At least they are all interested in Military History. 👍 James sold that Saxe tunic in the foreground! A decent selection of feldgrau straps. A nice neusilber tschapka...

Thanks everyone! There were very few helmets at the Show that James and I saw except for the dealers like Weitse and A of K. I saw quite a few sub standard Prussian M15's and a couple of Bavarians.

Thanks Coert, I come from the time before computers were in every home! :) If you say the strap is original then the price for this would be reasonable in my opinion. A person with deep pockets would simply buy it for the strap and then flip it.

My purchases at SOS 25 were limited, I did by a scrapper M15 Prussian (crushed top, red rot liner) from Alan S on my way out the door on Sat afternoon! Thanks again Alan, but other than that only 2 primary pieces (wappen) for my collection. I was more interested in selling things which I had...

Unfortunately, the first 5 photos remain as thumb nails and can’t be enlarged for a better look. 😕 An original chin strap sells now for $250-300 US if you can find one. I can not tell whether this is original or not. No kokarden makes me think that the strap is not original?

Another amazing example of British military History. Congratulations David!

Excellent helmet! I have never seen a half size in one of these metal helmets!
