Never "grease" a pointed helmet. If that’s the case, the helmet is irreparably damaged. The grease clogs, molds, and stains the inner silk! Everything is getting sticky! The only thing to do is to moisturize the strap of the "troupe" chinstrap, or the inside of the scale chinstrap with glycerin.

The width of the post side keys varies depending on many criteria. They are matched to the passage width of the lug. Infra, 3mm keys, reduced to 2.5 at mobilization to adapt to other post side. BING chinstraps are special because they have two rivets per slider, a unique feature specific...

From what I know, after 1889, Kurassier-Kammer helmets for enlisted men had a smooth peak and, most importantly, a simple, rounded visor. (This is so that the rifle can be shouldered and aimed). Therefore, the distinction is very simple, as shown in the document below: ---Helmets with these...

Very Nice and rare Giorgio !👌 Congratulations. 👋

Yes, that's right—it's a good sign, so it really is a natural “felt.”

The woolen sheet looks more like modern felt. It's hard to form an opinion. In any case, this is an Eigentum product.

As mentioned above, such a Prussian M15 helmet could be:---a JR, PB, or TB model; these are all exactly the same.---an active duty, reserve, or Landwehr-Landsturm helmet, since the LWK designation no longer appears on the iron eagle emblem. In addition, some Hanoverian eagles were no longer...

---As for the inner lining, the 1895 peacetime models were made of high-quality black patent calfskin. Below is an M95, converted to an M15; we simply swapped the brass for gunmetal, but the barrel and liner remained the same. ---The 1915 models have an inner lining made of “natural”...

Thanks, that's a good idea. In fact, the 1915 model is the result of two successive AK0. 1---The 6 April 1915 model stipulates that the fittings on spiked helmets (and helmets in general) must no longer be made of brass or nickel silver but of “feldgrau” iron. 2---The 21 September 1915 model...

Thanks for the information. I didn't go, but I'll keep it in mind. As for the Italian spiked helmet, I'll try to find the photo. It's about ten years old, though. But it is indeed the one shown by John Joseph. Thank you to him.😊

In Italy, they do a Chianti and pasta cleanse. In Belgium, a beer and fries cleanse.😍

Welcome to this forum.✌️ I know there are a few other Italians here. When I hike and mountaineer between Domodossola and Bolzano, I see many traces of the Austro-Italian War! And at the Sant'Angelo Museum, I saw an "Italian" spiked helmet !!!

Yes, some of my "vulkanfiber" helmets have the same internal appearance. This 1GRzuF officer's helmet looks pretty good to me. However, there is a noticeable discrepancy in the star insignia.

The spiked helmet is very complex, with numerous variations in detail (thousands!), depending on the year (1842 to 1915), rank, state, specialty (Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry, etc.), and whether the service was military or paramilitary (Gendarmerie, Police, Customs, Firefighters, Magistrate...

If you choose Eigentum Einjährig: You must exchange the "Officer" cockades for "Enlisted" cockades. But the M71 model has a small central hole because you have here an M71 officer's chinstrap, which the one-year-old Eigentum could adopt.

Hello, as mentioned above. Your helmet has been cobbled together, with a mix of officer and enlisted parts. You need to choose between: ---an officer's helmet. ---an Eigentum helmet for a one-year enlisted soldier or a Portepee. The first solution seems the simplest to me: The point must be...

Nor do I think of a cork lining. However, it may be Vulkanfiber, close to bakelite (vegetable fibre, coated with pine resin) and lacquered with black rubber.

Hello, I do.
