The first German line. White crosses mark where the remains of French solders were found. Mostly in the seventies. A lot of steel plates from which the Germans could peek into no mans land and from where they could take a shot. I don't know how they are called but I got one myself somewhere in...

I forgot to make pictures inside the museum (I was too captivated) except for this intruiging one of pieces of wood with bullets still inside. It's very nice with diorama's with full dressed manneq8uins, weapons and lots of artefacten found on the battlefield. There were quite a lot of...

I went on a short holiday to Alsace/Elsass this week and could convince my girlfriend to make a few short stops to WW1-sites. One that I didn't really know (except for the name) was the Lingekopf in the Vosges mountains. Very close to the pre-1918 border between France and Germany. This was...

That's indeed a great table with helmets you got there. It baffles me not a single person took an interest in them.

Very nice thread. Some great displays guys. I've never owned a German gas mask because I find them a bit expensive for what they are, but a gasmask with a Stahlhelm does look very bad-ass I must say!

Nice to see so many joining in on the conversation. I appreciatie every opinion. :) The other steel helmets I have all have grey steel fittings and, more over, the wear matches with that of the shell and liner. The helmet this came from has a liner in a pretty rough condition and the chinstrap...

Hi guys (and girls), This chinstrap was on a Stahlhelm i bought a while ago. I'm posting it here to get some opinions just to be 100% sure. It's not stiff or dry at all.

That's an extraordinay helmet. It's in ifself a superb chasseur helmet with a very besutiful color. But the impact adds so much more caracter. Do you have a picture from the inside?

I have a feeling that as of late more German enthousiasts are finding their way to this forum. In any case welcome here and I'm curieus tk see some of your stuff.

This collection is really insane. You've managed to find a top quality piece of every state and model. Without going in every possible variation of course. That you did this in only 10 years apparantly is a great accomplishment!

Thanks for the tips guys :)

Very cool and in great condition. And also, very important woth these Ersatz pieces, still in a very nice shape. A great looker you managed to find!

I juat went to the whole thread. This colletion is insane. All types and variations and the condition is simply mind blowing. I can imagian you're avery happy man looking at them. :)

Wow, that condition really is extraordinary. It indeed looks brand new. Great purchase!

I'm looking for a M15 Sachsen Haube. Complete and in good condition. May be infantry or artillery.

If you really want to play on the safe side, pickikg it up in person is still the best. But of course not possible (or very time consument and expensive) if the seller lives in another country or across the ocean. I've had one case where a parcel was missign but turner up after a week and one...

That's a really, really nice set Philippe. Inclusive pictures, EKM, paperwork and so on. That's rare to encounter!

That M18 Ohrenausschnitt is outstanding. The pictures really capture the great color and patina. Superb!

Here pictures from the inside of the helmet. It's definitely a German one. I took another look on the markings and they're all on the steel part of the liner. There's nothing marked in the shell itself where it should be, but this would also be a helmet from F.C. Bellinger none the less.

This one just came in. I'm sure some will recognize it from the sale section of the forum. I'm really pleased with it. The helmet looks great in person (if you can say that of a helmet, haha) with nice green paint present. Liner is in great condition. Pads all nicely filled like it should be...
