Welcome here! Helmet 1 is an M15 (1915) artillerie haube, Prussian. Helmet 2 is an M95, (1895) Prussian infantry helmet, for enlisted troops, from a reserve regiment, these have no motto mit got fur konig und vaterland bandeau, but the small iron cross instead. The kokarde on that one, is...

Indeed, it is very nice to see that. Dane is also a young guy and also a collector. Welcome aboard William! The collective knowledge here on the forum is massive, do ask any question you might have here, you will alway's get a good answer from us here. (y) Am looking forward to some pictures...

And so it is Steve, there were 5 regiments who got to wear that single Waterloo banner, IR74, 77 and 78, and 164 and 165. This helmet will become exactly as it should be. I paid only 500 euro's for it, but I saw the true history of it, the day I saw it for sale. I will only put it again back in...

Thanks friends! IR 74 was one of 5 regiments who got to wear the single Waterloo banner on their helmets, so quite a rare helmet too. Got it very cheap too, but it had no wappen on it, I had that one here at home. So now it is where it belongs, kokarden and chinstrap for it, I have those too...

Thanks James! I still have one set of original unused kokarden, which I bought from you, they will be on this one. Just like it should be. :)

Thanks Dane! I used to have one earlier, but sold it. Now I have one once more, this one will not be sold again. Dated 1905, and nicely marked. Regards, Coert.

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

Use this for the outside finish, it works great! The rest of the trim, maybe a light clean would suffice. This helmet has the slightly longer spike on it, as it should be. Looking forward to the restoration too! Good luck! Regards, Coert.

I agree with all here, everybody knows at what time the updates come, who comes first gets the nice stuff. I also look every friday,but usually I am late to the party too. That's no problem for me though, but every helmet I see that sells fast, is worth every penny. Keep up the good work Randy...

I am now more into motorcycles, then again I alway's was. But I also liked cars, especially the older ones. I used to own a Ford Escort Mexico, in full race trim, rollcage, the lot. And a BMW 2002Tii, an early one with the round rearlights, that one had twin webercarbs, a highlift camshaft, 5...

Well Dane, the pictures you post here are fine by me, and I don't think I'm the only one who finds them great as is. You have a great postcard collection!

Excellent miters Steve! Thanks for posting these pictures! Regards, Coert.

And so do I, I also liked the Cloth hall museum, the way it was before much better than it is now. Just like the museum in Sanctuary wood. I even had a nice conversation with the owner of that museum, he passed away later. I also like the museum in Hooge, visited that one also many times, nice...

And so do I, I visited Fort de la Pompelle in 1992 with my French girlfriend, now not with us unfortunatly , she passed away 4 years later. The old way of displaying the Friese collection was way better. Then again, I do want to come back to see it now.

I sure will continue reporting Brian, as I did many times before. I, and many members here like to keep this site clean of all of that. This site needs to be only for us collectors, I am here almost everyday, I don't react mostly, but I read every new posting here. Best regards to all members...

I noticed that too. This bot needs to be removed asap.

Excellent postcards Dane! I also collect postcards, I have more than 300 of them here in my collection, German, French, Belgian. Thanks for the pictures of yours!

I agree. I have no clue, but isn't there a way of protecting this website against them? I for one am willing to pay for it, just like the rest of us would I presume.

Indeed. And I just saw another one too, maybe it's the same guy, I don't know that. Checking both spammers IP-adresses would confirm it.
