Hello, today was flea market day again. I found this cord, but I really can't identify it. Maybe someone can help me figure out what I got there. Best Regards Mike

Hello, yes exactly. The soldier's head was added to the picture afterwards. You can often see something like this when no real photo in uniform was taken. Especially poorer people like farmers or workers did not always have the money for a photo in full gear before departing for the field...

Hello, Today there was only a small catch, but I couldn't leave the picture lying around

I am offering this collection of Baden Kokarden for field cap and helmet. I have multiple of these items, so I would like to give some away. The Portepee Kokarden are in excellent condition. Presumably unworn pieces. Hard to find in this condition All together for 530,- Euro shipping costs...

I offer these spare parts for spiked helmets. Five different individual scale chains. Different conditions. Two are heavily used, one unused even still with remnants of the original wrapping paper on the strap. Additionally, a base plate 500,- euros plus shipping costs from Germany or make me...

Hello, thank you very much for the reply. Yes, I think for me and my budget it will probably be hopeless to complete the medal bar. But it would be very interesting to see if someone really can find out who the recipient was based on the lists. Where can I find such lists? Best regards, Mike

Hello everyone, yesterday I was unfortunately able to get this ribbon bar without the medals. But in this size, it is not something I find every day. I think it will not be cheap if I want to add the missing medals Best regards Mike

Many thanks for your expert information and help. Very interesting what I was able to learn here about the helmet. Your knowledge is enormous! I really have to think about what to do with it. As I understand it, a restoration is difficult. It would be best to simply preserve the helmet dome as...

Hello, thank you for the explanation, very interesting. I don't think the vents were changed. That seems to me to belong together. The color thing is a bit misleading in the photos. Best regards

Thank you very much for the information and for identifying the manufacturer. Best regards Mike

I got this helmet a few days ago . It is just the helmet shell, no inner lining, a small tear at the back of the visor, but the helmet actually has good substance. Maybe something to restore. Best regards

Yes, the cocardes are in good condition. They come from a workshop find. It was a box full of cockade parts. Many were not even assembled yet. Individual cardboard discs and rings. There were also blanks of shoulder boards that had not yet been sewn together to be found there. A collector...

Hello, Most things come from the flea market. I have to say that I go to flea markets almost twice a week. In 90% of cases there is unfortunately nothing to find. But sometimes I hit the jackpot. I discovered the Schuppenketten in an old workshop. I think there is more to be found in that house...

I haven't written here for a while because I had little time for the hobby. But now I was able to go hunting for nice spare parts again. This is the haul from the last few weeks. Best regards

Hello, I found this parade bush at the flea market. It was attached to a wooden handle and I think it was perhaps used as a feather duster? Unfortunately, it seems to have been cut off. What a pity. But it can definitely still be used as a spare part. Best Regards

Hello, I'm still traveling. After my return I'll take photos of the inside. best regards

Hello. I got this Baden Pickelhaube. Unfortunately there is a hole in the front. There was a modern rivet in it. I'm thinking about how best to proceed with a restoration here. Maybe you can help me. Best regards Mike

I was able to get this picture a while ago. It is an embossed brass plate with the Grand Duke of Baden and his wife. I'm thinking about restoring it. The frame would have to be removed and repaired. The picture could be polished so that it shines like before. But then the beautiful patina and...

It was not my first Kaiser . I got this nice frame in the background of my display case last year...
