    auction Hermann Historica GmbH

    Commissions, exchange rate and shipping all come into play but if you really want something sometimes you just have to go for it. I have several items in my watchlist we will see how it goes who knows with a little luck ;):)

    Ersatz model 1895 converted to ersatz 1915

    Hi Thierry, I'm very interested in the production method you described above where the lever produces these striations. I've have always been curious to know how these helmets were made ever since I first saw and acquired one years ago. I have never heard the production method mentioned or saw...

    Dane, I don't find it rude at all as collectors if we don't ask, we never know. You have to take a shot, and you will be the first to know should I want to move some on. This is only the tip of the iceberg. ;)(y) MFG John Josef

    Hi Dane, Congratulations on your latest pick up I'm not really a medals collector but I have picked up many over the years. I really liked this one I added years ago because of it having both the Asian and African medals on the same bar and thought at some point I'd try to find out who wore...

    Did someone on the forum get the Bavarian Generals helmet on Ebay?

    I was watching it as well, someone definitely convinced them that it would be better to end the auction early and sell it to them. I had big plans for that Helmet. 🤔🥲 Oh well guess neither them nor us will ever know if that was a good decision :unsure::ROFLMAO::LOL:

    Gard M16 camo

    Hi Rob, I'm Just curious about which helmet or helmets you're referring to when mentioning thin lines and if that is something you see as a 100% tell. Just trying to clarify for all the newer or younger collectors/members looking in, Thanks, in advance for your thoughts. (y)

    I believe this gentleman is a member here and posted this picture before. He had a workshop years ago in France and turned them out, seemed like a nice enough fellow. He certainly wasn't trying to fool anyone, I believe he said it was his hobby. The problem is once they enter the market...
