A European /German size 56 corresponds with the French size 4 1/2. English conversion is 6 7/8. Note I know nothing about these but I’m not sure the 56 is a German depot size stamp given there is what looks like a lowercase English letter “a” preceding it and the size would correspond to a...

Yes one must not deviate from his chosen bier!!

No question companies are taking advantage and raising prices and say “tariffs” when tariffs have nothing to do with it. Many people do not fully understand import export duties / tariffs and think the exporter pays the tariffs when it’s always the importer or think added processing fees have...

The US had very high import value thresholds and now it’s coming into line with every other country on the planet with lowering them. Couriers and postal services have geared their operations around this but with the change will now have to add technology and or more personnel to handle the...

Belgium decides what the duties are to import items into Belgium, not the US. It literally has nothing to do with Trump. I think Europe in general has placed higher tariffs on items from England and vice versa since Brexit. Also what were the items? Were they exactly the same and valued...

I hate digital book reading but if anyone wants to sell the book for a good price I’d buy a 2nd edition copy.

Some amazing pieces on display in the museum.

Anders! Hope he’s doing well! Yes we had lots of fun back in the day. The old wall has been through a lot of changes. After helmets I got into Diecast aircraft and had a wall of Diecast 747’s, sold those and got into medieval swords and helmets. However the wall no longer exists as it...

Sounds like brokerage fees and as they say “Admin” ie; paperwork. UPS charges $100 for ground Admin & Brokerage fees US to Canada and only $10 if it’s Air. Doesn’t matter the value of item. They can’t explain why, it’s just what they do.

Fantastic helmets.

Thx! It’s a cool collection hobby and they are quite the conversation piece!!

I had a nice one that Tony Schnurr now owns and agree this one is off. The sharp teeth and skull / bones /eyes are unusually shaped based upon my recollection

Goin’ like hotcakes!!

Yeah I tend to think it’s (the nail hole) post war myself.

Your post made some good points and was just clarifying - as you say a Customs Broker is the way to fly especially in the now more complex world of tariffs and cross border trade - in my opinion. So far so good on the fossil front! This is what arrived today (not my pics, it’s still in the...

Given that the particular antiques which are the subject matter of this forum are made in Germany there are no tariffs. I’ve shipped several expensive helmets south of the border and no issues or tariffs. I have received many expensive antiques and no tariffs. (Mind you most ship from...

If you’re going by postall service I’d agree.

First mistake was sending it post. I wouldn’t send a bag of dog poop through the postal service. FedEx UPS DHL all via international express insured and tracked with signature. Usually never a problem. @ccj and I had quite the fun time on a helmet a few months ago with UPS however so no...
