Congratulations on another fantastic restoration project Ron! Best Wishes, Alan

This fireman helmet wappen is a bit different from the typical Mecklenburg-Schwerin wappen we would see on the regular military infantry helmet. This wappen device has the same assorted emblems on it as for Mecklenburg-Schwerin, but the shape of the wappen device placed on the starburst has been...

Yes, that's a super nice Wurttemburg M15. Congratulations John. It looks great with your other M15's. Best Wishes, Alan

Congratulations on a fine looking M15 Hessian, Ron. Yes, I have seen this type of chinstrap before. Here's a link to the one I found on an M15 Ulan Tschapka: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/model-1915-prussian-ulan-tschapka-enlisted-version-with-removable-mortarboard.19040/ Best...

Here is an online Bing translator that you can easily use. I know there are others who are members here who use an online translator...

Translation, using an online Bing translator: Hello Alan I know that. But my English is not so good in writing. I also have the language set to automatic translation. Regards, Chris

Hello, and welcome, Chris. I wish to remind you that this is an English-language forum. There are many here who speak other languages as their primary language, and all are welcome here. It's best to write in English, however, since as mentioned, this is an English-language forum. Best...

I see that Dane has quite a number of things he is looking for in the "Pickelhaubes and Parts Wanted" section. (y):)

Do either of you gentlemen have your search helmets listed on the "Pickelhaubes and Parts Wanted" of "The Market: Selling and Searching" part of the forum? I do reach out from time to time to members if I know they are looking for a helmet or part they are looking for that I may have...

Yeah, sorry Dane. Best Wishes, Alan

Helmet is "Sold." Thanks to the buyer. Best Wishes, Alan

More photos This photo shows the area to the left of the back spine where the stitching popped loose. The are us about 1" in length. The rest of the stitching is tight on the back visor. The front visor stitching is tight and fully intact.

Offered for sale is a Saxon enlisted pattern Model 1895 Helmet. Chinstrap is original. It is the type with the riveted ends, instead of the sewn ends. See photos for details. Saxon kokarde is original. Reichs kokarde is an older copy. I do not see any issue markings, because the underside of...

Hi Steve, These look like U.S. leather leggings. I can't make out the maker name in your first photo. Best wishes, Alan

You're welcome. I'm sort of surprised that he hasn't bought the other Prussian helmet on that venue for $250 that is missing the back visor and backspine. At least that helmet has an original brass spike on it, along with an un-messed with brass Prussian wappen. I have an original M95...

Hi Noah, Tell your friend to save his money. The so-called "Reuss" wappen device and star is a modern made fake. The spike appears to be a modern made replica, shaped wrong. The helmet body is an old and tired example. Someone played with this helmet by adding the bogus star and crummy...

Many years ago, when I lived in Mankato, I used to always go to both of the Rochester shows. I haven't been to either of them for quite a while. I went to the Elko flea market/antique show a couple of years ago, to check out a couple of Ulan Tschapkas that a dealer friend found. They were both...

That's interesting, as I've never seen anything "walk in" or be brought into this show to be sold by any of the numerous retired military who have stuff in their closets in Leavenworth, or the surrounding area. Good for you if you've been able to find walk-ins at either of the two shows. :)(y)...

There was a collector researcher who has unfortunately passed away a number of years ago, who was on WAF forum. "Rick Research" or "Rickresearch" I believe, was his forum name. I'm not sure if a current member on WAF forum might be able to help ID who the owner of this medal bar was or not. It...

As a buckle guy, this is a fantasy piece that someone created. Save your money and steer clear of this one. Best Wishes, Alan
