Sorry, it’s gone. Patrick

I am selling this helmet, which I posted on the forum some years ago https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/bavarian-chevaulegers-officer-helmet.11078/#post-77743 It is on eBay UK https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266246681463 Patrick

Hi, I don’t know what it’s worth, certainly more than I paid for it. I’ve put it on eBay to get as big an audience of prospective buyers as possible. Starting price of £950. Patrick

I am selling the PB10 helmet I posted a few months ago. https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/pioneer-battalion-10-em-1895-pickelhaube.17075/. I have listed it on eBay UK https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266246674712. Since the first posting here I have replaced the repainted kokarden with original...

I wonder if there was also a conscious aim to differentiate by shape in order to be able to more easily identify friend or foe?

Thanks Peter, interesting thoughts. Patrick

A very nice piece. I always find the difference in design between the steel helmets of different nations to be very puzzling. I thought ‘form follows function’?! One for Peter Suciu? Patrick

David, what a great wide-ranging collection. These are absolutely superb. The condition of them all is amazing. Congratulations! Patrick

Hi David, I’ve just opened a conversation and sent you a link to the Worcester and another to a 1st Dragoons. Regards Patrick

Hi David, This is a spectacular and very rare piece. I take it that this is the plate Carman refers to as being worn on the leather helmet which was introduced around 1860 and worn until disbandment in 1871? I also see that Carman has a photo of your Leicestershire helmet, also dating it...

David, These are superb. The quality of the items in your collection is tremendous. These type of helmets in anything approaching mint condition are very hard to find. Patrick

Hi David, Hi David, That is some collection! I look forward to seeing more of what you have. I had never seen a Lancashire Mounted Rifle Volunteers before - not surprisingly! I have both books and some years ago corresponded with David Rowe for a while, who was very helpful. Sadly, he died a...

David, I’m glad my posting inspired you to post pictures of your helmets. It’s great to find another collector. These pieces are in superb condition and I’m looking forward to seeing more. I love the Lancashire, in part because I was born there. 27 helmets is some collection - all cavalry?Where...

Same again! Patrick

Thanks Marty, Think the royal cypher pouch may be Norfolk Yeomanry, but I’m finding it difficult to get information. I know nothing about sporrans but, if you’re interested, Allied and Axis Militaria often sell them, and have a heavy emphasis on Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Items Patrick

That is an amazing grouping! The condition of everything looks fabulous. Thanks for posting it. Patrick

Thanks Marty, These are very nice pouches. I don’t know what the one with the Royal cypher and oak leaves is - possibly South Notts Hussars? I’ll have to do some research. I have that LP. His live performance recordings are great. Apart from being an exceptional guitarist, he seems to have...

Here are the later cap badges. The 'Artists' is the earlier. Patrick

Well spotted!

Zeb, Like Peter I thought this was a King’s crown, but you are correct about the dates. A quick Google shows other 38th plates with this crown. Very odd, as I can’t think just now of any plate of that era that didn’t have the Queen’s crown. I know the plate was designed by one of the artist...
