Thanks for the comments and interest Gentlemen Here is the interior of the helmet as requested As I said above I missed out on this helmet when I was a kid, there was also a Pickelhaube (felt Prussian), a pork pie hat and a damaged 98/05s bayonet in the shop at the time. I stayed in contact...

Picked this up yesterday, its one I missed 32 years ago and it finally came back on the market. As a kid I didnt have enough money to pay the $35 asking price and besides it was damaged and no one was going to rip me off selling me a damaged helmet! No liner or band but a nice and original...

Hi All Here is another MG08 cylindrical water can I was fortunate to pick up, this has iron fittings. I have 75% of the makers name which is stamped into the base of the can as follows Schulz&Sac??? BERLIN There is also an Imperial proof stamped on the top rim of the can which can be...

Looking for someone in the EU that is able to export firearm related items, I often see parts required for projects there but most companies wont export or cant be bothered exporting small orders. I would obtain official documentation/consent for any imported items. I would be interested to hear...

That is spectacular! A very nice piece indeed , I would love to find myself some MG marked items! Cheers Andy

You were fortunate to own several of these cans, I would love one with iron fittings! 15 or 20 years ago would have been a better time to collect 08's and accessories that's for sure. I can remember thirty years back most collectors having MG08 or 08/15 parts sitting in their gun rooms and no...

More pics of the "good" can I deciphered the maker marking E.ALISCH & Co ( or EALISCH) BERLIN.S. I would be interested to know if there were other manufacturers? Why Berlin.s.? Regards Andy

Hi All I have been on the hunt for a decent First Model water can for the MG08 for quite a while. I was fortunate enough to have been able to purchase this one from a fellow collector friend, The can has some dents and I imagine that many of these cans would have suffered damage easily being...

That is superb, absolutely stunning ! :bravo:

Realistically it has been a very long time since this helmet was manufactured and worn in the field before being damaged, its been around way before we even thought about collecting so anything could have happened between then and now. It could also depend on weather the helmet was held in much...

From what I have seen over the years most of the Imperial German steel helmets that have been at gun shows have had missing liners ( that's New Zealand shows pre internet days!). It was not uncommon to see a $40 shell at every show, the camo's were never as prolific and I had only seen a few...

last pics of the bayonet, there is also a small nip in the leather scabbard and corresponding chip in the blade

Found this one recently, it was in a friends collection for many years before I was able to buy it. My one and only 98/05 saw back and a New Zealand bring back. I hope that I can find a complete one at some stage but this one is quite a poignant reminder of the savagery of war.

Some more pics for you

I managed to find another M16 shell, I find the battle damage interesting and Im sure the helmet would have quite a story to tell

outstanding Gus, a beautiful example of a very rare Mauser. I don't envy you having to carry it while varmint hunting around the farm ;-) Andy

Hi All, Im looking for the cylindrical type water can for the MG08, anything considered, Rusted out, damaged or incomplete or whatever you have. I have one that is missing all the brass top fittings, it looks like someone has chopped them out for scrap metal and its had a pick axe through the...

Just curious if this is an original ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW1-GERMAN-PICKELHAUBE-OFFICERS-HELMET-BRUNSWICK-REGIMENT-93-3rd-BATTALION-/301188396112?hash=item46203a3450:g:6zAAAOxyZzlTeXgq" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; well beyond my reach price wise but just curious if it...

Thank you gentleman, your opinions are appreciated Andy

Hi All I have had this one a while and finally found some time to get in outside for photos. The paint has darkened considerably since it was applied and pics are taken in natural light, colour comes out stronger with a flash. The dent would have been a hell of a headache if it was being worn at...
