I would like to call to attention that when shipping Internationally from the United States, many countries, including European countries, have very low level of value that can be insured on a package. I am guessing that some here may not realize this fact. From my extensive shipping experience...

Very nice looking helmets, congratulations! Best Wishes, Alan

I do similarly, Rob. My customers in Canada and Europe have usually not had to pay any tariff when receiving anything they have purchased from me in the past. And if they have ever had to pay, it is because my customer wanted a higher partial value declared on the customs paperwork for their...

Hello JustinG, I have re-read your nice comments above here, and I have several questions for you. I too, notice that the postal shipping cost has gone up, which is nothing new. I recently mailed a small 4" x 6" bubble pack envelope and the mailing cost has increased 32% from pre-July 2025...

Thanks! Yes, it baffled me too! Best Wishes, Alan

Great find, congratulations! B.A. II was headquartered in Stettin, in the province of Pommern & Posen in 1914. Grenadier Regiment 2 was stationed in Stettin in 1914. Best Wishes, Alan

Congratulations!

Here's a link to the original posting I did on the forum about the JzP officer helmet when I acquired it. There are several photo views of the helmet, for anyone who is curious about it. The link is found here...

Yes, you were a customer, since I had an item posted on another forum and you found it, thank you! Best Wishes, Alan

Yes, it is too bad. I was simply stunned that the dealer was asking such a high price for it. It wasn't unusual, just a typical police officer helmet with a device on the police eagle wappen that I wasn't familiar with as to which city or state it was from. I was stunned that the dealer sold it...

Hi Coert, Thanks for asking about the M95 Saxon. I still have it. It's "B.A. XIX 12" issue marked to the 107th Regiment, 3rd Battalion. 1912 dated, and maker marked. Size "53". It's a beauty, from my collection, but I will sell it for the right price. No one was interested in buying Imperial...

Thanks very much! I can see this now that I look at the photo. Best Wishes, Alan

Hi Matt, The show had very good attendance on Saturday morning, and the aisles were very busy for most of the morning, with it lightening up around 11:30 a.m. Mike and Austin do a nice job running and promoting this show. There was only one other Imperial German collector who was there...
