What a story, and what a beautiful ultra rare helmet, would like people to offer me one of these for sale… ( in fact I bought some EM Prussian pickels from acquaintances , but not in this shape or such rare birds…).

dear pickel community, despite the international situation regarding tarifs and customs I did receive the beautiful Hessen Pickelhaube, It was discussed here before, see threat above, customs in Holland only charged 30 euro's so that did not hurt... it is beautiful alan purchased it from the...

I paid 1750 euros for one like this ( with fangschnur and colpack) to the late Karel van boschaette, some 15 years ago, that was a reasonable price then, don’t know the price nowadays

Sorry, I had to skip it this time because I’m on Holliday with my family, curious what others have seen in Ciney though

Gino, regarding the price, it’s what I would pay, and pioneer garde is more scarce than infantry, prices between members are generally lower then when purchasing from well known dealers, like regimentals weitze etc. Generally treasure hunt and ageofkings are reasonably priced

What a sad story to loose twice a helmet, aren’t they insured and accountable?

I also think this helmet looks good, price: probably something like 2000 euros?

what a beautiful helmet, congrats

I looked again closely to the pictures, you are right in your observation: not pierced wappen but gold paint, that is really disappointing, thus a no go...

No double holes behind the wappen?? ( I can’t see if you made a photo of the interior behind the wappen) , otherwise looks good to me ( the wappen seems correct for an officer with the perched crown and laurel leaves)

these are 54 mm figures mostly produced by ICM and masterbox some more examples

Apart from army museums, if you are touring through Europe coming from the states visiting Paris is very much recommended as it is really close to Belgium by speed train or car

But as you already said: army museum in Brussel ( army musea in Paris and Vienna are also very worthwhile visiting, so if you are touring Europe, by train Brussel Paris is less than two hours

The musea in the region of ieper , peronne, arras, and verdun are fantastic I very much like the musea in novion porcien ( Ardennes) and meaux (north of Paris)

as I wrote before, I made some miniatures, (I posted some before, but made some more photographs today) these are like the ones before mini-dioramas fitting in a case behind glass to prevent dust

Wow, what an interesting helmet with that battle damage, I’m sorry being too late on this one, lucky fellow collector that gets it!

So SOLD to a member in the EU, (me) lets keep the spirit alive in international trade and relations Is customs are a real burden, a former colleague lives in Florida nowadays and will be visited by a colleague upcoming month, I could ask them to serve as post-woman

I would like to buy it let’s hope you are correct on your assessment on border and customs…

What a beautiful couple!!!

No problem
