I've just taken delivery of an engineer officers haube with great metalwork but a totally wrecked shell. Before I pester Brian to see if it's even possible to bring back to life, does anyone have an officer's shell they're thinking of moving on? If push comes to shove I could reuse the front...

Oh wow, fantastic

I know this is a very long shot but does anyone have an officers neusilber visor trim and studs that they're looking to move on, swaps or sale? If so, please PM me. Many thanks Jeremy

That is an amazing display - congratulations

Hi, thanks for all the info - invaluable as ever. Does anyone know how I could confirm that the label for OYV Ihssen is legit? Was there an Ihssen in the 1st battery of either regiment?

Not too sure how good the trichter is, but can you please remind me what the F signifies? Also is there a way of confirming if Ihssen was ever a OYV in either regiment? Cheers all

Hi all Not strictly eBay but this item has come up at a local auction house advertised as "Imperial German One Year Volunteers Pickelhaube of Field Artillery Regiment von Scharnhorst (1. Hanoversches) Nr10" and appearing to be Hanoverian has got me interested. Artillery Helmet Taking into...

Hi Odd indeed :oops:. It seems to have a full length rear spine too so perhaps the cruciform is a later addition - looking from the inside, does it have additional holes where a circular spike base might have been fitted previously? Also with curved chinscales, I'm guessing train? Many thanks Jeremy

Fantastic collection. Love the Hanoverian bits

Welcome Drew, good to have another Brit on the forum.

Just got this back from the auction house. They really do need to get a new camera

Hi all Just wondering if anyone has a vulkanfiber shell they be interested in selling. Happy to consider anything from a stripped down shell to a fully loaded haube. Many thanks Jeremy

Hi Will. I love a challenge, happy to give it a go for you. All the best. Jeremy (in the UK)

Thank you for your kind comments gentlemen. Jeremy

I've just obtained this very nice pair of (I think) M1866 oberleutnant shoulder boards for FR73. Any thoughts gratefully received

I’ve been on the forum for a number of years and find the expertise and guidance invaluable in a hobby where you can easily get burned for significantly more than $20 with some of the shysters out there. I’ll happily pay an annual sub.

So sorry to hear your sad news Amy Best wishes Jeremy

I agree completely, sometimes you’d think he doesn’t even want your money! I just use the info@ email address and then follow up after a fortnight - eventually he’ll reply. I’ve not used the ordering system. As the spike’s been around for a while he may well accept an offer too. Good luck. All...

Karsten Ritscher has one on his website at €215. I’ve found he will negotiate on price. Website is https://www.militaria-blechspielzeug.de/site/helme.php

So I guess this is a conversion to remove the pain of the cockades falling off when swapping chinscales for a chinstrap in the field. The cardboard means the cockades can be mounted behind the M91 lugs and are thus permanently fixed as is the case with the all metal versions. Thanks all, and...
