My Bavarian artilleriehaube has a faint regimentalstamp, i can read the "FAR", but not the number. My understanding is that bavarian artilleriehauben had flatt chinscales while the curved chinscales were for cavaleryhauben. But it wouldn't surprise me that some artilleriehauben had curved...

Here's my bavarian artilleriehaube. Greetings Pickelhaube

Here are some new and better pictures of the box. From what i've heard, these boxes were used only on the submarines, but i don't know if that's true. Greetings Pickelhaube

I'm drooling over my keyboard when i see the helmets that Pickelhauben and Leone have posted. I only have 5 artilleriehauben, 6 if i count my Bayern also, but that one doesnt has a balltop. A few weeks ago i was offered 3 different felt artilleriehauben, but since the liners of the helmets were...

Sorry, i forgot to place the dimension. The dimensions are 24cmx16cmx9cm. I bought it near Raversijde, which was a coastalbattery during both wars. It was still full, but because all bullets and cardboard boxes were from ww2 i asked the seller if i could buy the big box alone. I still regret...

This is a box from the kaiserliche marine which contained 700 bullets. It still has alot of original tags and it's complete (without the bullets ofcourse). The box was waterproof. I only saw 1 other one, but that box was missing the strap, tags and some other things. The dimensions are...

Here are some detailed pictures of the garde stern. Greetings Pickelhaube

For the record, i know the helmet has flat chinscales, but i bought it like that from an englishman who used to own a militariashop in Ypres. The helmet was collected by his grandfather when he was fighting in Belgium and he showed me an old black/white picture from his grandfather with the...

I will, the helmets are less but there is some gear i'm very interested in. Hopefully i can win atleast a few items. Sometimes the bidding can be crazy during French auctions, but sometimes you can get stuff pretty cheap. I hope for the last option. :D Pickelhaube

I won't clean it, i like uncleaned helmets also. My GDK looks like it was never cleaned or atleast not in the past 50 years. I did take some more pictures of the helmet and i noticed a name written in pencil. It only took me 20 years to notice... The name is hard to see, but since it's...

Tought i would share this miniature "bonnet de police". I found this on a fleamarket and i'm sure it's something that the Belgian soldiers could buy for their wife. I haven't seen another one yet, but because how it's made it would surprise me that there are no more of these around. You can...

Since i have a day off from work, i decided to take some photo's of 1 of my dragoner helmets. This was my 2nd pickelhaube i ever owned and still one of my favorites. I know the silverwash turned black on some places, but im afraid to clean it because this helmet still has his...

I don't know what the reputation of the saleroom is, but it's the "Dekerle collection". I know the person once had or still have a website with his collection, but i can't remember what site it was. The site was great for using as reference. Greetings Pickelhaube

Here is mine, it doesnt have any regimentalmarkings. Greetings Pickelhaube
