Nice job!!! Can you tell me how's the product called that you use for the finish? After seeing the nice results of the restaurations, i'm thinking about trying to restore a helmet myself. Greetings Pickelhaube

Great helmet and good luck bringing the old lady back to her former glory Greetings Pickelhaube

The next photo shows the lions garding one of the city gates of Ypres, it's the gate where most soldiers left the city of Ypres when they went to the front. Later they build the meninggate on that spot. One of the lions after the war, the other was damaged badly and the Australians did a good...

i would call it "puppetsize", i think only a newborn would be able to wear the helmet. My first idea was that the helmet was a presentation model of some kind. Unfortunately it's at my parents home, else i would take a picture of the little gdc next to my gdc helmet. Greetings Pickelhaube

Here is a small garde du corps helmet i bought years ago, the crown can be unscrewed and there is felt on the inside. Has anybody seen other exemples of these little helmets or knows when these were produced? The height of the helmet is 8 inches. Greetings Pickelhaube

Like expected, you're doing a superb job again restoring this beauty. I think you need alot of patience restitching the sweatband. Every time i see the finished result of one of your restorations, i wanne try to restore a helmet myself, but i guess i will start with an easy one first...

Looking forward to see all the different steps of the restoration of the helmet. Greetings Pickelhaube

It's indeed a great helmet and pretty scarce, but they do pop up from time to time. I have owned a few of these in the past and i wished i kept more then one. Greetings Pickelhaube

Last weekend i went to Ypres and i was surprised to see these lions at the menin gate. In 1822 they were placed at the entrance of the cloth hall in Ypres and in the mid 19th century these lions were moved to the place where the menin gate is located now. All the soldiers who left Ypres on their...

It's a great shako, but like Chip i really like the 2 covers. Greetings Pickelhaube

Wow... What a helmet!!!! I can imagine why you had to tape your jaw shut, my jaw is hurting because it fell open when i saw your helmet. Greetings Pickelhaube

Superb helmet!!!! Greetings Pickelhaube

Great job!!! Greetings Pickelhaube

What a difference!!! You're really a pickelhaube doctor. Greetings Pickelhaube

Thanks for the explanation about your system, it's a great system and it saves alot of space. It's really something i could use here and it is the ideal winterproject for me. Does anybody on the forum has the cartridge for the eisfeld, i'm looking for the dimensions to make a copy myself since...

I really love how you've displayed your flare guns :thumb up: I think i'm gonna steal your idea and display my flare guns the same way. Later this week i'll post pictures of some of my hebels, for some unknown reason i have like 10 of them, i think i'm a hoarder... Greetings Pickelhaube

Since it's bad weather here and i have some spare time, i tought i would show you some of my flare guns. These flare guns were made in occupied Belgium during ww1. And here's a special flaregun, its an Eisfeld, these were used by German pilots during ww1. Greetings Pickelhaube

Wow, nice collection!!! I can imagine how hard it was to complete this set. Greetings Pickelhaube

Wow, there are many interesting helmets shown in this thread. I almost got a heartattack when i saw tony's kugelhelmets. Greetings Pickelhaube

Like Brian said, it really depends from collector to collector. In my case, i always try to buy helmets in the best condition, which means i won't buy helmets with torn liners or very misshapen helmetshells. If i encounter a helmetshell in good condition which is missing the helmetplate...
