    Flammenwerfer Totenkopf

    Steve my man that is a fact. I can still remember just about everyone that got away but sometimes like the great Harry Callahan once said, " A man's got to know his limitations" . ;):ROFLMAO:

    Flammenwerfer Totenkopf

    I remember this tunic I was hanging on and bidding for a little while. It's one of my all-time favorites and looking back should have done more to get it but we all know how that can go the winner may have felt the same way and who knows where it would have ended. Maybe divorce :eek::oops:

    Beautiful boards (y)(y) Kammi, I wish I had your focus. I try to keep my collection to certain units but end up tired of not finding anything and branch out in all directions. :cry:

    Helmet for sale at German auction

    The crazing on the shell looks so uniform it almost looks like alligator skin. Very interesting looking. I would have a hard time bidding on an expensive helmet without more photos.

    M. 1807 Wurttemberg 100th Anniversary Helmet

    No problem happy to do so. (y) If you look really close at that photo of all the dismounted calvary on parade, I think you can see our guy in there between the two mounted Dragoons. Super cool IMO. 😁

    M. 1807 Wurttemberg 100th Anniversary Helmet

    Dugout this one for the Wurttemberg Jaeger Regt zu Pf Nr3. Herzog Louis out today just to share. It always amazes me how much quality and effort they put into making these. I have seen several different ones in Museums in Germany and Austria just as representative examples to show rare units...

    M. 1807 Wurttemberg 100th Anniversary Helmet

    These were made for the Centennial Celebration of the Napoleonic Wars. I really love them especially since you will never in your live be able to find or afford an original. Not sure how much you are into the Uniforms of the Napoleonic wars but I'm a total nut for the entire period. I have the...

    1901 IMPERIAL YEOMANRY OFFICER'S DRAGOON HELMET

    I've heard of collectors having very good results with baby shampoo, but I'd also be interested in hearing what David has to say. He has the best conditioned helmets, I've seen. Would love to hear if he has a secret. (y)

    Interesting Helmet

    Has over 6 hours left and is already up to $1312.55 US without taxes and shipping. Looks like there are at least a few people who want to fill a hole in their collection.

    Ww1 German all steel lance Lieb Hussar Regt

    My pleasure, just trying to help. I feel the same about the lack of markings if you take your 56 years and add my 50 to it that says a lot. Germans at the time marked just about everything specially weapons. I actually dug out the reference book to add a bit more specific information for you...

    Interesting Helmet

    That one's not going to go cheap it has over 100 people watching it and you have to think there are more than a few people looking who actually know what it is. ;)(y)

    Ww1 German all steel lance Lieb Hussar Regt

    I don't claim to be an expert, but I've seen at least five of these over the years and all had factory stamps. Also, everyone single one had a date stamp, as well as the ruling monarchs initial stamped at the base of the tip of the lance point just like 99.9% of all weapons when issued. I've...
