    Small purchase at Ciney

    I believe in Belgium it's allowed as long as you have permission of the owner of the land. Which would mean it's forbidden in public forests or areas. France is really strict when it concerns battlefields since it considers them as graveyards (plus it could be very dangerous). More over...

    Small purchase at Ciney

    I was at the militaria show yesterday in Ciney (Belgium). Wasn't looking for anything in particular but bought this nice artillerie Filz Pickelhaube (a large size) and a Kugelhandgranate. I'm quite pleased with them.

    Unbelievable, where do you even find such helmets all the time? :oops: How long is the spike exactly?

    Bayonet frog

    I recently bought a k98 bayonet, but it came with this frog. Apart from the fact it's unfortunately damaged, it seems to have a 1916 manufacturing date. Maybe from a WW1 S84/98? There's another marking looking a bit like Reit. R1 but I'm not entirely sure.

    I did it again, another Adrian helmet is in my collection as of now, a scarce Zouave variant.

    That is really a great medical helmet. Good chinstrap, nice interior and two types of blue visuele. Nice purchase!

    I did it again, another Adrian helmet is in my collection as of now, a scarce Zouave variant.

    Adrian helmets are very pleasant to collect. You see them a lot (although finding one in good shape is more challenging) and are priced very reasonable. Especially compared to Germand helmets and Haubes.

    Adrian M15

    This is mine. I used to have more. One of which was a big size, had clear markings and a killer patina. Of all items I ever owned, that's the one I regret the most of selling it.

    M16 Camo Helmet Shell

    That's a very beautiful camo. I would buy it any day! Congratulations. The story about torn out liners due to head lice seems a bit stretched in my opinion. If that would be a real issue you would see it often and with helmets of the other armies as well. More over a steel shell bouncing on...

    New collector, picked up 2 Pickelhaubes. Did i do good?

    Hi there, You mean you bought one of them in a store in Ieper? There's nothing wrong with them. But May I ask what you paid for them? In a toeristische place the price trends to go up of course :)

    Did a display of my imperial German collection for the kids at my work!

    Knowing how much children love touching things I would not have the courage to do that 🙈 But great initiative. You could very well have inspired some of them! Are you a teacher?
