I have used Skip for years when I had my SS collection and now for Pickelhaubes. I have some extras if anyone would like some as they do not fit into my display cabinet in my new house. (free of course, just send me a DM).

Fantastic job as always Brian. Thanks for your time and efforts on this!

Hard pass.

Ummmmm…..might have a bit of a problem with the TK there.

Also Stella Artois is a Belgian beer from Leuven!

I doubt this is a veteran painted helmet unless the so called veteran decided to age and tool mark the helmet for that extra added authenticity.

Nice to know! I want to visit the tank museum there and now have another reason to visit!

I used to have several "droop-bill" examples in my collection once upon a time. Very interesting pieces. I would go to the forum German Helmet Walhalla for further insight into these unique pieces.

Sadly the visor stitching was omitted in the description of the helmet when I purchased it but Remy as usual was excellent and is looking after the repair and shipping costs. Excited to get it back!

Could be? I bought this off AoK a while back and the threads on the visors are non existent so Brian is re-stitching them for me. But he has a little story to tell about the repair.

Try a tiny bit of water rubbed over the lot number. Back in my stahlhelm collecting days I built a large lot number database over on GHW.

It is an IR93 as KAGGR first stated.

I just got back a day and a half ago, Tony's collection is beyond comprehension and always enjoy seeing it but moreso spending time with my brother from another mother lol. Of course some liver damage was done!

The lot number for these is always inside the top of the dome / skull and @Rkinkade these were only made by ET which should be on the left side IIRC.

I know the story but I will let Brian tell it!

By all means I’d be happy to offer an opinion.

And so the story goes… Willful ignorance is not a good trait in this hobby.

A lot of “camo collectors” will thumbs up a lot of sketchy camos as it’s self serving. I would post it on German Helmet Walhalla - the best German helmet collectors are there. I’ve been considered a top German helmet collector by some and there are red flags all over this one. Where is...

For a field used helmet there seems to be a distinct lack of dome wear from pics provided and the wear the helmet does have is not something I’m comfortable as being field wear either. The color scheme and pattern is also highly unusual. I’ve had dozens of original WW1 camos in my...

I bought this one, excited to get it in hand.
