In one word: WOW!

:thumb up: Got it!

Additionally, I like the way the Wappen follows the contours of the helmet. Especially with this wide-winged Guard eagle one often encounters wings kind of "sticking out". Yours is very good, Coert! :thumb up:

Hi Coert, you lucky bahstud you (wide grin)! I wrote: "I would gladly lay 900 - 1000 Euros on the table" and I'm very glad you managed to get it for the lower end of the estimate including (!!!) the original Kokarden! Good work, well done! This is a very good buy you did - I'm happy for you...

It seems somebody caught him: "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing". :D

Reg, the 2nd of September must have been a very good day for humankind, considering that both you and me were born on that day :D

Coert, if the spike indeed unscrews for a Trichter (which of course makes a lot of sense with a Guard helmet), there is an extra legitimate reason for your helmet having Schuppenketten. If worn with a parade bush (things I heartily dislike, by the way, and in my real collectors days used to...

"(...) the benefits of the upgrade far outweigh the changes (...)" Absolutely! Thanks Brian and all others who help making this forum the quality place it is! :bravo:

I was born at a very young age, so I don't really remember the day of my birth. But my parents eventually informed me that I was born on September 2nd, 1945.

:thumb up: :D

I like the "Quick Links" feature!

It breathes history! And what a pity the label on the inside is damaged - I would have loved to read the name of the wearer. And so would you, I guess, Coert :D

It's good to be back! :bravo:

Greetings guys! I posted the first picture in this thread in haste, on account of being not only busy, but also excited on account of the new helmet. Simply didn't have time for the full story, but here it comes - albeit in an abridged version otherwise I'll still be typing tomorrow evening :D...

Been there, done that, got a whole lot of T-shirts, Brian! These updates/changes take time, inevitably bring up some bugs, followed by yet another bit of sorting out. No problem! And as far as the pink is concerned: never be afraid to show your female side :P :D

:D :bravo:

Not my property, but I may guard and display it.

Brian, I agree with others - I'd leave the helmet as is. Everything is so perfectly original that a replica liner would kind of "feel awkward". Besides, if you use it for teaching and showing what the original hardare should look like, the lacking liner is an advantage! Use your truly amazing...

"Wrong plate, wrong cockades, wrong chinstrap... what is left??.. a rusted tin shell"... and still someone bought it for US $799.99 :(

I must be stupid (my family will wholeheartedly confirm this :D), but I never could figure out what possible benefit a scammer derives from offering stuff for auction that he doesn't have, and subsequently can't deliver. Look, I understand the system, but I don't understand this particular...
