Well, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot bargepole..

Congratulations! These reference books from Verlag Militaria are magnificent. I have 13 of them here in my reference book collection. You will sure like them too, they cost money, but worth every Euro! Regrards, Coert.

Don't be angry Amy, I know what you meant. And, no need to feel sorry for me my friend. Life sometimes can be cruel, you know.

You sure can pray for me, to bring me more haubes! You know Dane, I am just very happy to be here, with comrades who also love to delve into this history, haubes, medals, I like your posts here too! I might be an older guy, but you know, for me, we are all the same. Age doesn't really matter...

Do not worry Amy, it is all in the past now. And don't feel sorry for it, it is just another story, nothing more, and nothing less. Regards, Coert.

Thanks for the support and the picture of your latest kitty! I have 4 cats roaming around my house now. They sure can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but they're love for me is alway's there. I have alway's had cat's in my life, at my parents house where I grew up, and later when I got my own...

My 4 and 3 medal spangen, with feldspangen. The 2 medal spangen. The single medals, as a set, but also with doubles. Even more doubles, and 2 wappen's, one with the crown taken off, probably done after 1918. I have another display case too, filled with English, French and Belgium medals, and...

Well Amy, I am single since 1992. Unfortunately my French girlfriend died in an accident, when she left on a visit to her uncle's birthday. I couldn't get the day off at work, so she went alone. She never arrived though, she stopped at file, behind a lorry. The lorry which was behind her saw...

Well John, yesterday 2 more showcases came in here, today I reorganised my medal collection. So I went from 2, to 4 showcases now. I had to, it was getting way too full in the 2 I had, so now I have 4 of them. Pictures will follow tomorrow. ps I bought a WW1 marine verwundeten abzeichen in gold...

Thanks Dane and Francis! It gives me great pleasure doing my best to bring ém back! I am in no way a restorer, but hey, I do what I can for them. Now it sits with its other M95 buddy's. 5 of them now, and 10 M15's. My goal is to get even more, but I do need to fill my bank-account up for it...

Thanks Jamie! By the way, I also follow your posts on the British/Scottish helmets, they are so nice! You also have a marvellous collection, just as David has.

Thanks Dane! It came without the wappen, kokarden and chinstrap, but the wappen I already had, just like the kokarden. I had to solder some loops on the wappen, as these were missing, but that turned out okay!

Well, before the 1905 stamp is indeed IR74. In fact, the helmet is complete now, with a set of original kokarden, which I bought from James quite a while ago. As I am still on the lookout for an original chinstrap, I fitted an aged replica one for now.

https://www.cm1940.nl/product/swiss-schmidt-rubin-sawback-bayonet-model-1914/ It is Swiss made, but I think somebody altered the pommel, so it would fit on another rifle. I own a Schmidt Rubin rifle too. But not the bayonet for it though.

I agree with that, you see On Hold when the helmet is in your shopping cart, and only when it is bought, you see Sold.

Yes, it sure would. But that's the result of the Photobucket disaster. Many of my pictures have been not available since, thanks to them.

Welcome here Jorvin! Take a look around here, in the several topic's, you sure will pick up a lot of knowledge here, and, do not hesitate to ask questions here, all of us here welcome new members on the forum. And answer to any questions you might have. We all started here once too! Looking...

It is a very nice, and original M95 helmet! What's more important, the chinstrap is also an original one. The rear visor needs some stitching, as I can see, which can be done, but anyway, it is still a nice original helmet! That larger Kokarde alone would fetch quite a lot of dollars, so this...

Well, all 3 are original, so not pieced together helmets, only the larger kokarde, which is also original by the way, on the M1895, shouldn't be there. Then again, that kokarde alone is quite rare to find nowaday's. That said, all look perfectly fine by me. All are nice original helmets.
