Thank you very much CLOVIS for valuable information. I am sending additional photos.

.Pickelhaube of a gendarmerie non-commissioned officer from Badeni.An interesting example of a conversion from an older model 1871.Pattern extra from a private purchase used circa 1880.Rear rail and visor mount used on the 1891 model,but the knopf mount used in 1895.Land cockade mounted directly...

Beautiful exhibit, congratulations. Wojtek.

Alan I fully agree with you.It is still necessary to distinguish between a bad repair and a good one.It takes me more time to eliminate bad repairs and return to the original condition before the repair.Even good sellers sell tragically made items, which at first glance look good.I have already...

Alan, look from the other side.Not everyone on this forum can afford a pickelhaube above 2,500 euros or a house for 25 million dollars.Everyone wants to have nice things.Believe me, not everything, even in these outstanding collections, is perfect and has not been repaired.I repair items using...

The helmet is original and only requires minor repairs. This is not a problem.

What guarantee do I have that I will receive the goods after payment? No offense, but I don't know you and trading is out of the question for me. I'm not saying you're a scammer, but in my country this type of sale is popular and has a name.

Good purchase,congratulations! Wojtek

Yes, it's a new shell, because the first one was too small. See the fifth photo, how the wappen doesn't fit and is too big for the helmet.

Since the shell of the helmet is too small for most wappen, Amy and I decided to get a new helmet for repair.Today I sent her a package and when she receives it, she may present the whole thing, but it is her joy and decision. I did my part and saved a piece of history.

I added a photo and it loaded 100% but unfortunately it is not there.

There is a problem with posting photos.

Steve, this was a general message to everyone not to be hasty about it. You are right that these parts are worth a lot. There are only a few percent of items that are good for parts only, but it is always worth trying to restore them. If someone is not experienced in such work, you can ask or...

It all depends on what you want to make of it.After changes can come out of it a financial officer or a military pharmacist.In my opinion, the rosette and a piece of belt are from the pickelhaube of a fire officer. Wojtek

The interior of the helmet was repaired with a bandage. The item can be salvaged as long as the black grease is removed from the center of the pickelhaube.I would not condemn this helmet to annihilation and parts donor.

I have dreamed of having such a helmet since I was a child, but I only dug out of the ground what is in the photos. Congratulations on the exhibit.

You pour the old shellac with 90% or 95% spirit alone.In some countries, e.g. Sweden, it is treated as a drug and there are problems with its purchase.After pouring shellac with spirit, you need to stir the concoction twice a day.First the coloring will be brown, and later the rabbit glue will...

This second photo is from my collection.Pickelhaube, imperial stage manager (or supervisor) of military bands.

This is an English-speaking forum, so use an English translator. Regards. Wojtek

The small silver Wappenadler was only attached to Adler's tail by order of May 15, 1905, and was removed from the pike required by another officer when they were promoted to officers.Promotion opportunities for civil servants, were closely linked to years of military service. More than half of...
