Hi Tony, Happy Anniversary, and happy to see you back with these incredible items ! Congratulations !

Hi Tony, I am ready: my sunglasses are close to me...... :D :D :D

Hi Jean-Pierre If you chasing all the fakes on EB, you will not sleep no more!

Hi Gus I suppose they have been reproduced too, but I don't collect them and I have no special info about them..........sorry!

Hi Tony You are back on this forum!!!!!!!!! Great news ! I am checking KB every day: no update ??????

Hi Sorry Joe, I don't collect these plates..... :cry:

Hi Gus The 3 shown in the previous post are probably repros... Below are some "official" repros: I think that only the buckles marked with the name of the producer would be genuine now. The copies are very good, but not stamped.

Hi, Just a view of this typical steel helmet in its Off version. The cocarde seems to be in leather with a metal silver ring. I don't see if the crown of the plate is avoided.

Hi The seller stopped his announcement: http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260155097371 The plate must have been sold out of Ebay !

Hi I just want to add that all Austro-Hungarian brass belt buckles are copied. Copies are sold in the Military Museum in Vienna (about 15-20€) as well as in all flea markets. Often they have been aged and wear a nice but fake patina.

Hi James Thank for for the pics!

Hi Gus For me, the first one is the one in the left upper corner. The second is the one below (sometimes called: Royal Hungarian Landwehr) The third one is plane indeed.

Hi Ludwig I would not bid on it. It remembers me some British repros. The Kockade are repros, the spike is not nice, rivets are unknown.

Hi jean-Pierre I am bidding on it. Let's see..... Your OFF plate is wonderful with its nice crown !

Hi Bruno In fact I don't collect 1895 type helmets. I collect the previous patterns But this plate is very nice and rare. So...

Hi JR92, very nice collection....again Regarding the rust on the spike, I agree, it is different patina far from the plate's one, but I like the shell and the space between the gromets.

Hi It was a nice ART helmet. In France, the majority of old Cuirassiers and Dragoons helmets (model 1830, 1840, 1845,...) were officially re issued by the firemen and then modified. Currently, they are modified in the other way, cleaned, re equipped with new pices and sold as Cuirassiers...

And the other side:

Hi Gus I hope it helps:

Hi Joe I know 2 types of officers reproductions (including 1 from Kalmmerbulle.de). But I have not seen repros of OR's yet.
