Well I guess so Francis. Or Santa thought that I have had enough troubles these last couple of years. It was really cheap too, so I got lucky. It was below 500€, so I snapped it up real fast! It also has nice kammer stamps. :) (y) No double holes.

I just bought this nice looking arty M95 haube, marked FAR11. More pictures will follow when it has arrived at my place. No chinstrap or kokarden, but I have those here. It has a vent on the rear spine. I wish all of you a merry christmas! Regards, Coert.

Merry Christmas to all members! Regards, Coert.

This is the film, The battle of the Somme, which created a stir when it whas released, in Britain. It is remastered, and shown in full. People in Britain, were shown the horrors of war.. As on a headstone of one of the fallen soldiers is written, on Tyne cot cemetary in Passchendaele...

Well, like it is an understatement Michiel. It is a magnificent ensemble ! :) Regards, Coert.

I agree with John Josef on this subject. Well written John! (y) (I was also contemplating writing something along these lines, but I'm no great writer doing such) Regards, Coert.

In my opinion, this is a helmet that was later converted from an M95 in an M15. When looking at the markings, this becomes quite clear. GGR9 marked, but also the marking BJAXIII, with the little f for feldbrauchbar. This bekleidungs instandsetzungsamt XVIII reworked it into an regular Prussian...

Well, I have 2 of the war issued single Lübeck crosses here. One of them might be yours if you're interested. I don't know about Trump's import taxes though. Just send me a PM, it might work out for you. Regards, Coert.

The above 3 medal spange is on its way to me.

Bellinger Fulda it is.

You did very well Gino, an excellent and rare haube! (y)

Very nice adittion to your collection! I also have a Bavarian M15, but not by Bambus&Co. Congratulations, a first one for me to see! (y)

Thanks Jeff, I acually spend a lot of my time in front of my computer, being a single guy, and Brian, my whole livingroom starts to look like a WW1 museum, I love being able to look at all the helmets, being German or French, English and some more right in my livingroom. James, I still can add...

That one surely deserved a good cleaning. I would have done the same thing. I usually only dust my helmets off, every 2 months or so, but that's it.

No Bruno, they came to take a look, but that's all. They know my helmets are sacred to me. Even when a new addition arrives here, they only come to take a look at it, sniff the whole helmet and then leave it alone. Anyway, the old display was above a radiator, which isn't good for haubes, so...

Well friends, after buying this helmet, I decided I needed to rearrange my display's. I was running out of space. And so I created a space above my computerdesk. With the opportunity to expand it some more. This way, all my Adrian helmets,English WW1, and all my books can have more space too...

I have only this one, but I presume it isn't what your looking for..

Indeed Philipe, I have this very book in my regimental history library.

Welcome here Damian! It is very nice to see so much younger guy's getting interested in pickelhauben, and registering here here. For a very good reference site, go visit Tony's site: https://www.kaisersbunker.com/index2.htm And, like James already mentioned, the book section here on the forum...

Thanks Jeff and Bruno! :) 👍
