Greetings, It seems like we have a great number of experienced individuals who are quite adapt at manipulating, restoring and preserving items. Well, I know this isn't directly related to a pickelhaube or even a WW1 piece. I recently came into possession of a Tigerverbande crest. This piece...

There is also some great info on sleeve insignia as well as cuff examples and classifications here. https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/222578-german-uniform-photos/page/55/

Here is a great online link to the German Colonial uniforms. Great info. http://www.germancolonialuniforms.co.uk/rankinsigniancos.htm

Love the items, especially the Flottille book. As a Naval enthusiast, that is what draws my eye first. Great pick up.

I too have thought about posting here, some ebay pickelhaubes. As a newbie as well, I had figured that any good deal was going to be immediately snatched by a member here. It is pretty difficult to find an item that you can get for a bargain. I have accepted that the best course of action is...

Beautiful and gorgeous. Best Regards, JustinG

Definitely loose something in translation from the original German to French or Dutch. Same thing could be said about any cross over translation. The military has a language that is entirely it's own regardless of which country it is from. I agree with you on trying to keep the language to...
