Congratulations Justin on your upcoming trip sounds like a massive one. (y)

I feel the same way; I bought a very nice Baden Reserve Officer Helm some time back from a friend who was downsizing and the only thing missing was the front visor trim. I thought the plate was worth what he was asking for it, so I thought how hard can that repair be. BIG MISTAKE after finding...

Brian you're the man that one is a tuff nut to crack. I don't feel so bad now after putting you through hell with that visor cap you repaired for me. I still really appreciate your extraordinary efforts it s looks beautiful. (y)(y)

HI Alan, Thanks for posting this I thoroughly enjoyed it with my morning cup of Coffee. There were a couple of items I would have liked to pick up and have a good look. I did get a laugh and also an idea by seeing the guy selling little Stahlhelms made in to bottle toppers. I'd have gotten...

Hi Steve. I'm a Feldgrau lover so I will try to answer your questions. I was hoping someone else would take it on but after waiting a bit I feel your questions really need to be answered. I don't pretend to be an expert on anything but after 50 years of collecting and researching I've picked...

I really like the way you display your collection, totally unique. (y)

Super nice photo, really interesting to see even back then that chinstraps and kokaden were missing.

That's a beautiful set especially the condition of the Attila (Tunic) from what I can see there doesn't seem to be much if any moth damage. It really looks to be 100% original and usually the boards are gone or replaced. If it were mine, I would try to get between 5 and 6 thousand US dollars...

Just my gut and initial feeling are as mentioned the poor quality and the details especially in the bull heads just aren't there. I would be very surprised if this was a period piece but with also not being an expert, would not consider my opinion as 100% certainty. Will definitely defer to...

Great helmets and those boards are pretty amazing as well. :love:

Beautiful display in the background. I really like how you have them displayed (y)(y) I wish your Raupenhelm was complete I'd be all over it, but I just can't justify another project. Sadly, they never seem to get done. :cry: Good luck, I'm sure someone will love just to have a representative...

Definitely original.(y) It has been converted for use in WWII. You can tell by the use of the WWII US M6 leather Sheath. Also, they cut down the cross guard and as mentioned removed the knuckle duster. Here in the US the top retail price would be around 600 but a buyer could get really...

That is a terrible thing to do

The one in the picture above does not appear to be tin it looks to be made of leather check out the stitching on the front brim and the shape. Or maybe it's just my old eyes. :geek:

At first look it's a complete reproduction even down to the added stamps and markings. It's amazing how much work goes into making this new helmet look aged.

You have excellent taste (y)

Just beautiful (y)
