Great helmet and nice to have the set together. I only have one of my Great Grandfather's Boer war medals as someone decided to split them up up within the family years ago. I did get a nice quality reproduction done of the one I was missing. Here is my helmet and his medal set.

Yes that's too bad. I can understand being upset and not wanting to lose money but not at the expense of others. The guy who is selling this one is trustworthy and immediately changed his listing. I sent him the links to the articles on Colonel J's site so he knew I was genuine and we have a...

Thanks to this great forum and all the advice we get I was able to let a person I have bought items from in the past know that this Pickelhaube he has for sale is a reproduction. He has since changed his listing to reflect that. Classic British fake from what I see. Link to the full listing...

I think we should call you "Billy-Brian". Not quite Billy-Bob but you do spend a lot of time down south..... Just teasing my US friends. I kind of like hyphenated names. Our cat Hannah's full name (joke name) is Hannah Joelle Minns-Brown. Joelle is her vet and Minns is my wife's maiden name.

Okay sorry to hear that. In my case everything was good.

FYI all - I bought Pickelhaube Stars from Potsdamer on eBay Kleinanzeigen and he was great to deal with. Great communication and fast shipping. He is in Germany. Good luck with your sale Potsdamer.

Awesome! Can't wait to see it in it's new frame.

Bienvenuto!

We all do!

Same to you. Love your displays and that beautiful piece of furniture. Fireplace? Or just a lovely cabinet with mirror?
