    Need a little help

    Welcome Jack. I am very sorry to hear of your friends husbands situation. It is very kind of you to assist them during this very hard time. As stated before the artillery pickelhaube and the waffenrock are to the same regiment. The official title would be the Niedersachsisches Feldartillery...

    For sale: Saxon Civil Officer and Prussian Line Officer Pickelhaubes

    Absolutely no worries Nieuport! I am glad we got it sorted out beforehand! ;) Of course, Brian. "Scary Canada"? That's just poking a little fun at our wonderful Canadian brethren. A lot of Ebay shippers are scared stiff of sending items to Canada. No clue why... It's actually very easy and you...

    Manfred von Richtofen, the Red Baron, Interesting compilation of original wartime film footage

    Gentlemen, in my opinion this is very interesting film! Pay close attention to the shorter pilot who comes in from out of frame and gets close to MVR then backs away. If I am not mistaken (feel free to correct me) he is wearing a silk visor cap. The give away to me is the bright sheen it's...

    Kürassier Opinions

    John, I see a possible good shell and a possible good spike but better photos would be required. The liner is from a French helmet so someone attempted a fixer upper. I concur with your assessment. Too much for a fixer upper. John

    Steve, I appreciate your candor. I don't mind any comments made regarding my posted helmets. I actually encourage it! This only applies to me so I would ask forum members to ask the seller how they feel but I have no issue with any observations negative or positive. In the end it's up to...

    M15 Garde Uhlan Tschapka Project

    Hello All, I am offering up this interesting tschapka. The reason this helmet caught my eye was the strange zip-zag pattern on the inside inner shell of the helmet. I don't know what material this is but it almost seems like a pressed paper or thin wood. I don't believe this was bond helmet as...

    Grossherzogl. Mecklenburg Dragoner-Regt. Nr. 17 Officer Reserve

    Thank you Matt, Bruno and Steve for your nice comments! Yes, Bruno it does indeed have the M15 spike attachment. I will take additional photos of the unmounted spike for reference. I do believe this to be a mid-late war production helmet. The small reserve star might be be a sign that materials...
