Excellent work again Brian! This tschako is just like it was, when being issued! A first for me too, a Seebattallion shako in neusilber. Fine workmanship, a trade long gone, but not with Brian at the wheel/needles! :) 👍

If it would come for sale, I'd be a buyer. Would take a while to find all of the parts needed, but I have the time. Regards, Coert.

It's great to see you back online Gustaf!

And so do I, though I haven't 400 of them, unfortunately. I really like the helmets Amy posted , very rare examples, and rare ones too! I for one haven't seen 1 of them for sale in years..

I agree, it is in fact an addiction, collecting, then again, I won't let it get the better of me, so I couldn't pay my bills though. I have, like so many others, gone through quite heavy times in the '80's, when work was difficult to get, I just took whatever job I could get, even way below my...

Wow, thats indeed a nice collection, but also a lot of space! At the moment I have 20 pickelhaubes, 10 Adrian helmets, an m1917 english helmet, M16 german, and a Dutch M33 helmet, but all in my livingroom. And space left too.

I"m quite sure you do not have enough room for over 120 helmets, and neither have I.

Well, I was, like Michiel, at a younger age already interested in history, the middle ages, old castles, the egyptians. When I got older, say about the age of 15, I started on WW2 history. As I live near the coast, a city named Hellevoetsluis, there were many remains of the Atlanticwall, which I...

It sure would, better than stored in a lock-up storage somewhere...

Well, I hope so too, but all the signs say otherwise, unfortunately..

Did you already have that tracking number yet, @DDCOOK ? Or even better, the helmet? Regards, Coert.

I'm looking forward to the post! :) Regards, Coert.

Well, I for one like it very much, it is only that I already bought a Kurassier M15 a few weeks ago, so I'm a little low on cash. Otherwise I would be indeed interested.

Wurtt M15's are scarce, also here in Europe. I had one before in my collection, but it wasn't mothers finest. I sold it, and years later I bought one from Alan S, here on the forum. That one had names in it, and was researched by @argonne , who found out what happenend to its former owners. I...

And so it is. I know 2 collectors here in The Netherlands with extensive collections, who know about our forum, but do not contribute here.

I have only one Prussian Infantrie M15, but it has a different kokarde, hanseatic, and marked IR 162. Also a Wurttemberg M15, and a Hessen M15. All 3 are quite rare.

Thanks friends! (y) Regards, Coert.

Don't forget the Fries with Stoofvlees, the Belgians make that the best way! Simply excellent! :love: 👍

That's a very nice collection of medals and a spange Allison! I also collect medals, just like pickelhauben. Welcome here! Regards, Coert.

A great helmet! And in very good condition too, you were lucky buying this one, you don't see those for sale very often. Congratulations!
