Hi Joe, Congratulations! When do you expect to have them available for on-sale? I know that I am not alone in telling you I can hardly wait to see it. Cheers, Laurie

Greetings all! It is interesting what different people notice. I have examined the photos under greater magnification, with the help of Photoshop and some interesting things come out: 1. Rosettes - Look curved to me. 2. Trichter - The photo with the haarbusch in place, when lightened, shows a...

If you really want a chuckle, check out the list of bidders. Cheers, Laurie

Greetings All! This Spanish pickelhaube is one of the nicer non-German renderings I have seen: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6632281520 Cheers, Laurie

Thanks Robert and R1, 1) Hex Nuts - Ooooooookay. Well, at least he answered. 2) Rabatte and Kokarde - It gets worser and worser...... This helmet is a very good learning experience. Cheers, Laurie

Thank you, Joe. That is one beautiful helmet. Cheers, Laurie

Sven, Thanks again! As to sending cash via registered letter: It is okay, but not perfect. For me it has worked well most of the time. My worst experience was EUR220 which didn't arrive but we had an excellent evidenciary trail to track an apparently empty envelope. Whether the receiver...

Thanks for your suggestion, Sven. That looks very interesting and just what I'm looking for. Cheers, Laurie

Greetings, All! I would dearly like to see Col. Ron's helmet but I get a bad link sign off of all of the images. Am I holding my mouth at the wrong angle or something? Cheers, Laurie

Hello everyone, Here is a very handsome looking piece that deserves some guarded interest: http://cgi.ebay.de/Tschapka-1-Garde-Ulanen-Regiment_W0QQitemZ6282528691 My own observations: - The wappen is secured by hex nuts - not good. - The rosettes look like steel, so does the visor trim...

Hello Peder, My thanks to Stuart and Gus for their support. Peder, I would gladly work with you to create some helmets for your band. Please contact me at: [email protected] if you like. I warn you, to get it right will be quite time-consuming but worth it in the end. Kind regards...

Hi Corky, Thank you for your input. I was able to get in touch with the guy at F Burgess&Co. He advised that he has been quite ill and has not been operating his business for awhile, now, and will be on "sabbatical" for about six months. He was kind enough to remind me of another company that...

Thank you Joe and R1 for your excellent input. I had no idea that these birds went all the way back to the 1820's. Do you know of any reenactor suppliers or anyone else who might have one for sale? Cheers, Laurie

G'day everyone! It's the old saw: The more you learn, the more you want to know. Every now and then I wander off and look at other helmet types - today's tangent is 19th C. US dress helmets. I am trying to sort out the deep inner meaning of the various US helmet eagles. There is the fairly...

Greetings All! If you are interested in Bavarian helmets and don't have this book, don't miss it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6274191855 Good luck! Cheers, Laurie

G'day everyone! For anyone planning an historical tour, this book looks like an absolute must! It is bilingual, French and English, and apparently has quite a comprehensive list of European WW1 museums and battlefield remains: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6273119497...

Hello Everyone! These don't come up very often: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6272530692 Good luck! Cheers, Laurie

Thank you, Otto and Joe, for your frank answers. I suspect that my real problem at this stage is that my eye is untrained and I am just a bit too keen. Joe, you said it well: On first examination, I am embarassed to admit that I did not see the new liner for looking at it and was blissfully...

Hello everyone, If this is the real thing, it might be quite useful for someone: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6266600400 I would be interested in any commentary from our more learned members. Many thanks, Laurie

Thank you Joe, Otto, Otto, can I ask you to point out some specific flaws, please. To my untrained eye, they don't look bad at all. The only possible weak point I see is on the Infantry helmet, the liner looks too new. Joe has pointed out the de-mountable kugel on the artillery helmet, was...
