    Braunschweigisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 17 EM Visor Cap

    A rare visor cap and hard to find. The Husaren-Regiment Nr. 17 was one of the few units that displayed the Totenkopf on their headgear. It was formed in 1809 and garrisoned in Braunschweig. I would rate this Condition 2 with one small moth nip on the piping, right side. From the Steve McFarland...

    Light Dings and Rubs

    A friend of mine contacted me yesterday and asked how the Pickelhaube guys fix light dings or rubs that squeezed down into the leather a bit. He actually has the problem with a Luger holster but thought any tidbits or advice you might have would be useful. Let me know.

    Mint, unworn Pickelhauben with Talcum Powder

    Thanks for the advice, Sandy. I would tend to agree with you. Same with daggers, etc -- the patina is something you come to love. Mike

    Mint, unworn Pickelhauben with Talcum Powder

    Can anyone provide an answer to my question regarding cleaning? Much appreciated. In the collector world I came from, cleaning was verboten or highly frowned upon. But I get the impression that in Pickelhaube collecting, this is acceptable. Tony has an excellent article on it on his website. Mike
