Hey!! I get a little credit as I found it for him. Ha Ha!

Awesome find. Congratulations.

Nice one James. I am very interested in the diverse military administrative helmet such as this. I recently picked up a Medical Officer which was the helmet you show but all in gold. Congrats......

I also noted this helmet in the recent Thiess Auction. In 2002, I had the opportunity to see a wonderful and all original Waldeck Prymont Flugeladjutant in the Kurhessishes Museum outside Kassell. The quality and fine detail of the star looked far superior to the recent offering. I have...

I have been collecting since 1965 and I have never seen such a large and obviously different lobster tail helmet. It looks almost distorted due to the size.

I just found this 7th JzP that was on eBay and came from an estate sale in New York. It is the largest metal (JzP and Kurassier style) that I have ever seen. It is unit marked, dated and has the size "62" stamped in the back trim. It absolutely dwarfs my other JzP helmets that are marked size...

Awesome find. Congrats!!

Vwey nice painting. I have a number in my collection room. Such items give a sense of human reality to the hobby.

Great find! :bravo: It is wonderful to see that fine items still show up at local shows. We are all on a treasure hunt and striking gold is always fun.

I just heard that the principle players and purchasers in the auction were a Mexican father and son, 2 European dealers and an active phone bidder. My BIG bid for the Mecklenburg General did not last 5 seconds. It was fun and exciting to see so many primo helmets at one time. I guess the...

Hey Guys; I just talked to Wes Dillon at the James Julia Auction house. He is sending a bunch of catalogs to me while I am at the SOS. They sell for $30 but he says it will be a reduced price for the show. I will let you know when I get them at the show. Anyone who wants one come by my table...

Hello Fellow Pickelheads I look forward to seeing you guys. It is fun to trade stories and visit. See you there Randy

I just returned from Maine to help the James Julia Auction house identify and classify the Robert Haskell Collection. The auction house has also reached out to other top collectors for their input. There were about 150 helmets in the grouping. Bob Haskell was the consummate collector. He...

Please send a photo of the entire helmet. From the photo you posted, it looks like a standard Prussian Officer ( round spike base, round spike base, and gold trim) style with rounded chin scales. If so then it is a Medical Officer helmet. Look for name or markings in helmet.

Randy Trawnik, Remy Schaal and Tony Cowan will be at H34

Hey guys. This is a very unusual helmet. It came out of an old estate sale in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The antiques dealer had no idea what it was when he offered it. The helmet is quite salty and I feel that it has never been touched. Karsten Ritscher had a helmet like this many years ago...

Great find. I suspected that it was a genuine pickelhaube cover. Most people think that the small sized helmets are "childs" helmets when in fact they are regular helmets. Congrats!!!!

Talk about being SICK. I started feeling poorly on Saturday morning. By Sunday I was down and out. My doctor thought it was food poisoning. YUCK. :o

Beautiful post 1915 helmet. The pearl ring was used by Hessen Artillery Regiments only. Very impressed with the condition too. OUTSTANDING!! :o

Beautiful 7th Grenadier enlisted helmet. Great find!!! Is it marked in the back? :D
