    Jan K Kube Auction Nr. 151 March 28th

    Hey Jeff I had Jan ship via FedEx last auction but I arranged it all on my end with FedEx pickup using my FedEx shipping account which you can create online. You just need the dimensions and weight of the box and you can arrange for pickup right at his front door which just requires a bit of...

    First couple items setup - still need to get my friend to modify the display forms with the helmet stands as my others have and the displays are not in their final places yet but you get an idea. Today I setup the KR6 Officers Koller and the LKR1 Officers Küraß (helmets are from my...

    Hermann November

    That crate is a serious piece of German engineering. My buddy is picking it up on the weekend and turning it into a tool crib for his garden tools.

    Hermann November

    After roughly 5 months since the auction my items finally arrived. The entire shipment was held up by an unfortunate miscommunication between HH and the shipper they chose with respect to export permits and then German customs researching if one of my items was of “cultural significance” and...

    Jan K Kube Auction Nr. 151 March 28th

    He desperately needs to get into the 21st Century. That is not good business to charge for a printed catalogue only to be told your not receiving what you paid for and no word of a refund or at least a credit towards future bidding.

    Visit to Vienna

    I was there a few years ago, great museum and spent the entire day there. Thanks for the photos and a trip down memory lane.

    Was just conversing with him not long ago over email and saw he hadn’t been online in a bit. Very sad news. Condolences to his close friends on here and his family.

    ET60 Splotch Camo - Little Guy.

    Very nice. Some helmets look familiar! I sold my stahlhelm collection a decade ago and had a couple dozen + fantastic WW1 helmets and I think I recognize a couple in your collection!

    Brunswick R92 Question? Picture post

    Sadly that is the case from what I have seen but still doesn’t reveal the “surprising answer” you said as to why they are not fake. Sorry to be pushing hard on this but a statement was made by you with confidence, almost a challenge, to those who have offered said opinions. As a veteran of...

    brunswick skull

    Gary, you have posted this now in 3 separate threads asking for opinions. 1 of the threads you made the statement that you have a surprising answer as to why it, and the others including cast fakes, are real. I have asked twice for the surprising answer and while you are not obligated to...

    Brunswick R92 Question? Picture post

    ? I am unsure of your reply to me? I believe it might have been meant for someone else? You had said you had a surprising answer as to why the helmets / TK’s you posted are all original despite many learned opinions to the contrary (in the other threads where you posted the same helmets...

    Brunswick R92 Question? Picture post

    You posted these helmets in other threads and received opinions on them there so you've heard what some have to say. I am curious as to what your surprising answer is?

    You asked for an opinion and when one is given all you do is talk about the reputable dealers you buy from, guarantees and Walter Heartman whoever he is. The only opinions you want are those that align with your opinion and for that reason I am out. I would strongly advise you speak with...

    Officer pickelhaube 92Rgt Brunswick

    Sorry I thought you wanted an opinion originally as it was offered to you. Never nice to hear when you have something bad that you’ve thought was good for a long time. I have authenticated many an SS helmet and had a fellow from Germany who also bought from a sole source “reputable” dealer...

    Officer pickelhaube 92Rgt Brunswick

    The skull on the officers IR92 looks like it’s trying to be an oversized copy of the Panzer collar tab skull of WW2 Panzertruppe of the Wehrmacht. The running horse motif is rife with pebbling and appears to be a bad cast fake. The Mannschaften skull lacks the fine detail seen in originals...
