Ok, I bought this back in the 1990's as an original. However lately I've had some feedback saying the contrary. I'd like to get a consensus here. It's a Private purchase silver vaulted screw back type.

No, No, I understand that. I appreciate your input and thank you for the compliment. When I bought it it was crushed and had that bad liner in it. All of the Hard ware and accoutrements I had to hunt down individually. The rosettes and cockades are fake, they were a gift so I could get all these...

Thank you. I'm glad to see that The job is getting positive reviews instead of " Dear God! What have you done"? :ROFLMAO:

These are fantastic.

I had a friend of mine confirm this is not a British fake, But says it's a fake. When I bought this shell I thought it was an original with a bad replaced liner. It only had a cruciform base and the rear rail. It was also misshapen from being stored in an attic, or something like that. All that...

Nicely done so far.

I agree with b.loree. Removing the sweat band would open a can of worms you don't want to open.

I appreciate the compliment on my work, The resto formula was one I learned from the 1990's. I'll try yours out on the next one I do. I know the rosettes are repro as is the kokarden I put those on as a stop gap until I can ret a real set, and I know the liner was done at some point. Not sure...

Ok, This may upset some of you guys, but I restored a basket case I bought four Years ago. This was an officers pickelhaube with only the top cruseform mount with no spike and the rear rail. After a slow slog, I found most of the pieces I needed to restore it. It was badly cracked and misshapen...

Hello. Looking a set of Silver Pickelhaube chin scale rosettes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Anyone here got a line on a set of officers cockades for the pickelhaube? Prussian or Bavarian .

This makes sense. I've never seen one before. You found a really nice piece. It may be enlisted. not sure.

The cape is a rare bird. Field Officer Grade. The Side cap, I believe is an Infantry NCO's cap, could be an officers. Both are Minty fresh examples. I've never seen the Cape and hood. It could be 1920's, But I'm not sure.

Excellent job on this. Did you use a Shellac to finish it?

I found a stiff cardboard similar to the original material. Now to find some Liner Material.

Well done my friend. Is the liner original? Or did you install it?

Hey guys, quick question. What material is out there that can replace damaged, or missing cap stiffeners?

Yup. They're from a fireman's Helm. But, for now, they'll do. The scales were the hard part. I just got an email from them. They offered a pay pal payment option. So I paid that way.

Yeah, I know, But they'll do for now. The weird thing is the company does a C.O.D transaction business. Let's see if this works.
