I’m offering a Saxon officer’s Pickelhaube of the Landwehr infantry from around 1914 in a pretty good condition...

Dear fellow forum members, I was just browsing through my books on uniforms and pickelhauben again and noticed that the book “Die Deutsche Artillerie” (The German Artillery) states that the chin strap for foot artillery was introduced as early as 1887. According to the AKO of March 3, 1887...

Dear friends, first of all I'd like to wish you a happy new year 2026. I'm looking for good photos of different helmets M1857. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck finding good photos of helmets of this type over the last 10 years. Therefore, I hope that some of the fellow collectors on this...

Dear fellow collectors, what do you think of this guard eagle, is it authentic or a replica (at least the eagle)? Link to ebay guard eagle To me, it looks authentic, but according to Larcade, the ends of the fatherland banners on the replicas curl down/inwards, while on the original ones they...

Dear fellow collectors, I have recently been forced by the Bavarian capital archive to scan some of its contents for me. It seems this has led to the contents of many files being completely digitized (or I didn't notice these scans before and spent much money for nothing 🫣😂). However, now...

Dear fellow collector friends, I‘m happy to show you my latest addition to my collection, a beautiful enlisted men helmet M1895 from the Infantry Regiment (1st Hanoverian) No. 74. The M91 rosettes measure 14.0 mm in diameter and have only a single pin to prevent twisting. This fits perfectly...

Fear fellow collectors, last year, a chinstrap of a Pickelhaube fell into my hands, which still has a relatively soft leather and which is still very flexible. The leather seems to be very dry and therefore old, because it tears immediately at the edges when you twist it a little. But it is...

Wish you all a happy Easter :)🐣🌼

Hello fellow Collectors, I‘m looking for a Prussian chinstrap M91. Any offer (or hint were I could find one) is welcome. Thank you in advance.

A very good book with some very interesting dates and wonderful photos 🤩

Dear fellow collectors, does anyone have a photo of an M1915 with hair bush or photos of a hair bush funnel M1915 with bayonet lock? I only read about it… With 14.8 cm it was taller than the 11 cm funnel of the M1895, because the neck of the fitting was now part of the spike or funnel. I would...

Dear collector friends, I have just read in the “Mitteilung zur Geschichte der Militärischen Tracht” that the helmet of the LGR 109 had yellow fittings in the period from 1867 to 1885. However, in Knötel's “Uniformenkunde” it is written that this was the case in the period from 1867 to 1870/71...

Dear fellow Pickelhauben collectors, today I'd like to present my new Saxon Landwehr officer's helmet. Unfortunately it is not 100% original, because it has been restored, but it consists of all original and correct parts. I bought this helmet at the end of 2024 and it wasn’t in a good...

Dear fellow forum members, today I'd like to introduce my latest find, which I'm very happy about 🤩 It's a very rare and well-preserved Prussian M1867 enlisted man's helmet, which is completely original to my knowledge. I have seen Saxon, Baden, Wurttemberg and even Saxon duchy helmets on the...

Hello fellow Forum members, I'm looking for a pair of Prussian M91 cockades (Prussian/Imperial) for enlisted men in original and good condition. I'm also grateful if it is only one of them. Any help is welcome 🙏 :) 🙏

Dear Fellow Forum Members, I‘d be very happy about your opinions regarding these Cockades. At first glance, the Imperial Cockade looked like a fake to me because I didn't like the color or the back. In the photo, however, the front looks quite authentic, which is why I'm unsure. I have never...

Dear fellow Forum members, it's a while ago, but I finally published a new blog entry on my website “Historien-Kabinet.net”. It's about the symbolism behind the oak leaves which decorate many Prussian medals. Fortunately, the originator of the “3 oak leaves”, King Friedrich-Wilhelm III of...

Hey fellow Forum members, I'm looking for a Saxon officer’s Imperial Cockade in original and good condition. Any help is welcome 🙏

Hello together, I‘d like to sell the book „Die Helme der Königlich Bayerischen Armee 1806 bis 1918“ in good condition. It’s pretty rare and very informative. I would like to have 80€ + shipping for it. Just send a PM if you are interested.

Hey fellow Forum members, I‘m looking for a Bavarian officer cockade in Prussian style (with affixed ring ). It doesn't have to be complete or in the best condition, I'm mainly looking for the silver-plated disc, but of course I would be happy about a complete cockade. Thanks you very much :)
