Hello Peter, I used to mainly collect German Army WW2. There it is a "no go" to edit helmets or remove patina. But you never will have verdigris on a WW2 steel helmet. I'll think about it again. I don't know if the verdigris damages the silver plating? Then I would remove it better ?. Best...

Hello,now I have worked on the hair bush. At first I didn't use any water, I just brushed the entire bush with a very, very soft baby hair brush. I was able to remove a lot of dirt. The bristles of the baby brush were black afterwards (they were white before :)Only a few loose hairs have been...

I'm very happy if you like the hat. I got the piece with two other Feldgrauen Baden Krätzchen. I have never had a blue piece in such good condition before. I don`t know how best to present something like this. Just put it in the display case or on a hat stand ? But then the folded look wouldn't...

Hello, I wanted to introduce my Krätzchen here. This is an unworn piece. It is still folded as it was issued to the soldier years ago. ´s hard to find a condition like that today. Best regards

Great ! Thank you very much for the list. The piece comes from a Baden household. So it could well be that it is a parade bush of a Baden unit.It will be a challenge to find the right helmet for it.

Many thanks for the answer. Yes, I'm torn about what to do.It really seems to have been a problem in imperial times too. I want to do as little to the parade bush as possible and maintain its condition. First I will try to carefully brush out a strand of hair with a very soft baby brush. Maybe...

Hello Steve, Thank you for the detailed answer. It's great if you can access a database like this. It definitely takes a long time and you have to study a lot of books to create something like that. Until recently I mainly collected German Army 33' to 45'. I have a very good selection of...

I think I used the wrong words. I think about to fix the Busch a little. Because the Hair is very tousled. Perhaps there is a way to "combig" it ? I want the hair like it was bevore. Best regards

Thank you for the information. I think about to restore the "Busch" carefully.I´m not sure how to handle the hair... ? Best regards

Thank`s a lot ! I will try to get this book. I´m realy new at this "Paradebusch" topic ( and my english is very basic ) They are realy had different hairs for Officers and other ranks ? White Yack hair and horse hair look pretty much the same !? But it is the german army... they would do...

Wow ! waht a wunderfull Bavarian Officer ! Thank you for showing. The Trichter of my Paradebusch is white colored and have a circle of pearls at the top... Hello, have you got a list, of these units or is there some book where I can study ? That would be very interesting. Best...

Hello, I dont´t know. I hope someone here can help me by the identification of the "Paradebusch" It is my first one, and I am not a expert in these until now. Best regards

Hello, I want to show my latest finding. A "Paradebusch " It is in the original leather covered tube. Only the fitting Pickelhaube is missing now.. :-/ Best regards Mike

Thank you for the great pictures from your Book ! This will help a lot to identify the color code from the Troddels and Faustriemen. Best Regards Mike

Thank you SCHUPO ! I think so too. I hope I can get more of the "Troddles" from the old stock. I saw so much more of them there. Best regards

Hello, thank you :- ) Yes the white strap ones are peacetime I heard about it. I am very happy with my new "Troddels " Maybe this is a possibility about the color of the straps ( early/late) . But, it seems to be that the white ones are worn at wartime too ? When I look at ww1 fotographs I...

By the way, The price is negotiable, of course. Best Regards

Thank you, I am realy happy with this find ! Here are some more "Seitengewehr Troddel" from the " new old stock " that I could get. Best regards.
