Great helmet. But could you image riding on a horse into battle with this on your head Or any uhlan helmet for that matter!

Looks like it has been a good year for you.

What a beauty !

I agree with the others very nice. Unusual that it has a black liner . Most that I have seen have a natural tan/brown liner with thin leather.

Thanks CCJ I liked the way this came out. Based on a 21st Century HUMVEE with my parts kit. Everything hanging and sticking off this HUMVEE are parts of my kit.

All wonderful stuff. I can just imagine walking into your man cave and seeing your beautiful collection !

Thanks guys for the kudos. Christmas will be good for a collector in TX Here are a pair of SDKFZ 251 with pak guns. These were a stop gap measure for Germany's need for tank destroyers.

I do like the picture as well. The damage does not bother me. It has the look of been there done that over 100 years ago.

That is a nice one !

Bend it the other direction and put a rubber band on it. Moniter the rubber band and take it off when satisfied. The rubber band will continue to bend in the other direction pull it off when it has done it's job.

Hey Guys Here is my first kubelwagon. I did a little customizing on it but it is mostly a repaint. It has the 3 tone paint scheme that was mainly used during the Normandy invasion. Here is the mod next to an untouched kubel

Yes indeed there are sooooo many fakes out there. I have been told of several OLD collections of being made up with almost all fakes. So I have decided to stay with only a handful of dealers well known in the hobby. First Thomas Wittman he wrote the book on nazi daggers My first dagger ( Army)...

Hey guys, Before I started collecting pickelhaubes I was slightly into Nazi Daggers. I had an Army, Airforce , Red Cross hewer and an SA dagger. I sold all in order to start financing my pickelhaube collection. I have gotten the bug again and am starting back with an Army dagger purchased from...

Clovis Thanks for the pics. I had no idea this was ever done. You do learn something every day ! I may have something to add to the subject. I have a pristine Pioneer Wurt that seems to have a repaired bullet hole in the plate. Although I am not sure if it was done wartime or post . I will try...

Jeez USGUPPY ! I monitor US, German and France's eBay 2 times a day. I never saw this item. You must have pulled the trigger like Clint Eastwood. Great score !!!

They make repos of the vent. Yes I got it and am waiting for it to be delivered. I didn't realize it was in Ireland.

Very nice. Love that big star.

I agree with Amy. The loops on back have been relocated to a small spread like a Saxon plate. But to me the plate looks good. Just not on this helmet.

Great piece ! Do you have any more pics ?

Lars is right leather helmets need to be kept in the house not in the attic. Shrinking is all too common. Your stand is good for preventing the dreaded shrunken dome. But it will not prevent shrinkage of the circumference of your helmet If you want to use your stand you could trace the inside of...
