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.

This one came to me a week or 2 ago, a rather well used Saxon M95 enlisted helmet. It sure shows its age.

An IR74 marked M95. Needs a chinstrap and kokarden, but I have those here.

A question from a member of the Dutch WFA, where I am also a member. If anybody here knows where this picture was taken, please let me know. If an answer comes up, I will let the fellow WFA member know! Regards, Coert.

I just bought this one. I already have the Hanseatenkreuz collection, all 3 of them, but this one showed up for sale at a very low price. No emaille damage, a nice ribbon on it, and so I could not resist it.

My friends, I have been looking for a Hessen M15 spike for my M15 Hessen enlisted ranks helmet for several years now. It has the kreuzblatt, but with the standard Prussian spike on it. I do know that things like that are quite common, especially when it comes to M15's. But it seems these spikes...

I bought this one from Gabe, am happy to add it to my slowly growing collection. Which has 10 M15's and 4 M95's now. It has a name in it, which I cannot decipher, size 55, but no regimental or BKA stamps, that side is a bit blotted out, or sanded of. It has seen a lot I think. Regards, Coert.

A Prussian M95 enlisted helmet, it came in today. Kokarden were bad ones (copies), so I put a pair original unused ones on it, which I bought from James Lebrasseur earlier this year. Chinstrap is original. The markings are there, but for my old eyes not readable. Regards, Coert.

I saw this one for sale at our national selling site, and thought, lets see what it is, the photo's looked okay. Went to see it this evening, and all looked good to me, kokarden are suspect though. Nicely marked IR169, 1B, 1905. No loose stitching, liner is okay, fittings and wappen are all the...

I added 8 postcard booklets to my postcards collection recently. All are complete, with all postcards still present. All were for sale just after the war. I just love these reminders of the past.

This is my latest addition, a message pad. These were used by company leaders, or officers to send back messages, about enemy locations, where fire was coming from, enemy strongholds, asking for supports or directing fire to locations. It is dated 10-7-1917, and is original. It looks like a...

Well the Pionier helmet I bought recently has arrived. An enlisted men's one. It has depot/PB markings, but very difficult to read, size 55 marked. Reich kokarde is okay, the prussian has a repainted white ring. All in all I like it! Regards, Coert.

Excellent, I also ordered the Pioniere und Verkehrstruppen book from Verlag Militaria. That one is on it's way to me too. Regards, Coert.
