As we just left our holiday home I can’t right now, but will be back on Friday, will make a photo then

dear fellow collectors, as said before I own a holliday house near the front of august 1914, recently I encountered a Belgian individual interested in the first world war that found some relics on the battlefields of august 1914, (battle of the frontiers), the bloodiest day in french military...

The 20 second video seems to big of upload, found some photo's online, this monument shows names of 500.000+ soldiers killed and the immense scale helpt to feel what kind of amount of individual lives those numbers represent (as humans our brain cannot really understand numbers that big, this...

I did visit both musea very often, and understood that both collection belong to the same individual, it really is a shame that it is closed en for sale as I said before I think it is heartbreaking when outstanding public accessible collections get dispersed and inaccessible to the public...

Beautiful and strange combination, the M15 was introduced I thought after the parade rabatte was discarded , so very unusual combination, maybe put together? Anyway a paraderabatte is very hard to find, and a enormous plus to any tschapka!

Of course I also did not encounter such a metal shako before, but as everybody on this forum has the same reflex it might be one of a kind, maybe the company just made a testprobe and never really got into production phase? Anyway no doubt on its authenticity I think everyone one of us would...

Fantastic, I love tschapka’s, these are beautiful

What a terrible news, a great collector, ‘he had them all ‘ will be missed

one of my favorite uniforms in my collection is my feldgrau wurttenberg UR20 ulanka tschapka lance and sword today I finished the model of a UR20 lancer and a prussian lancer both in 54 mm scale

Thank you for the Photo's! that Hanoverian UR14 Tschapka is a killer! (made a detail picture of your bigger photo to show what I mean) It has the rabatte in that special pinkish colour though seems less bright pink than the one Steve earlier showed on this forumfrom his own collection, It...

thank you very much, I think that display of a trench is very impressive and a bit strange, never saw such a thing on a show, seems more appropriate for a museum, but nice display anyhow!

congratulations!, very nice!, is that the prussian general federbusch for sale on the website of age of kings?

I do consider myself very fortunate to live close to the battlefields, and I visit them very often

hooge krater, flanders fields, and the passchendaele museum were closed last weekend for the winter closure, flanders fields reopens next week, hooge krater in february, paschendael forgot details so check before departure, ...

dear Pickelhaube community, I visited Ypres today again , but alas, alle musea were closed, but could of course visit a lot of graveyards and monuments Being in the flanders fields museum shop at the tourist info I saw again the files on first world war headgear published by the museum in small...

What a beautiful schirmmutze, I have seen them before but never with that beautiful bright blue verstoss, looks like reused cavalry mutze, my example has dark blue verstoss and red piping as is logic for sanitary service as far as I know, ( artz offizier also that combination), but to be...

Sorry for the confusion, by giving tumps up I just like to show that I like any post on the 92 regiment, not a statement that I think it is good, as I don’t know enough about these specific helmets ( we all want them, but I don’t, have one), so I don’t know

I do like the 1867 model with bigger mortar board very much and they are much harder to find as they served in the francoprussian war it is another era, but indeed less sought after,I’m happy to own both models. if have one in less then perfect condition, but look at the details in the wappen ...

It might be due to te resolution of the photo,s but I don’t like that wappen, it misses fine details

I really miss a photo of the complete helmet, and more detailed pictures of the wappen would be nice, but I also think this is a authentic Tschapka, and the fact it has the Fangschnur parade plume and parade rabatte is very nice! It is extremely cheap
