    Rare Baden officer Pioneer Battalion Pickelhaub for sale

    What guarantee do I have that I will receive the goods after payment? No offense, but I don't know you and trading is out of the question for me. I'm not saying you're a scammer, but in my country this type of sale is popular and has a name.

    Yes, it's a new shell, because the first one was too small. See the fifth photo, how the wappen doesn't fit and is too big for the helmet.

    Paris-Dakar Rally

    Since the shell of the helmet is too small for most wappen, Amy and I decided to get a new helmet for repair.Today I sent her a package and when she receives it, she may present the whole thing, but it is her joy and decision. I did my part and saved a piece of history.

    What are common red flags in fake pickelhaubes

    Steve, this was a general message to everyone not to be hasty about it. You are right that these parts are worth a lot. There are only a few percent of items that are good for parts only, but it is always worth trying to restore them. If someone is not experienced in such work, you can ask or...

    Help me restore this pickelhaube

    It all depends on what you want to make of it.After changes can come out of it a financial officer or a military pharmacist.In my opinion, the rosette and a piece of belt are from the pickelhaube of a fire officer. Wojtek

    What are common red flags in fake pickelhaubes

    The interior of the helmet was repaired with a bandage. The item can be salvaged as long as the black grease is removed from the center of the pickelhaube.I would not condemn this helmet to annihilation and parts donor.

    Beamte helmet and questions

    The small silver Wappenadler was only attached to Adler's tail by order of May 15, 1905, and was removed from the pike required by another officer when they were promoted to officers.Promotion opportunities for civil servants, were closely linked to years of military service. More than half of...

    1876 lacquer

    Over the centuries we have formed unbreakable ties.You can quote a small passage from modern history.In 1920, during the Polish-Soviet war, only Hungary at the last minute provided the Poles with a train of ammunition,and the rest of the countries imposed an embargo on supplies to us. In 1939...

    1876 lacquer

    All mounts and wappen are installed upside down and must be compatible with the helmet visor.I can help you,but it all depends on where you live,because the shipping costs of repair materials and customs duties will make the repair unprofitable.

    1876 lacquer

    You can make the original varnish yourself. The easiest way is to remove the peeling old varnish from the helmet and pour 90% alcohol over it.Firefighter helmets were also painted using this method.
