Between here on Pickelhaubes and Age of Kings, there have been a LOT of nice helmets for sale lately, so those who have been buying may be taking a breather. Perhaps people also worry about being able to even GET their items if they live in the US. I'm STILL waiting for a parcel that can't be...

Replicas are great.... for Oktoberfest, but don't expect them to have any real value. As somebody said, it's a costume, not militaria. Prost! Ron

I agree with Bobted, save up. I see prices slowing down, but not going down. If they do, it's a lucky thing. On the other hand, it only takes two or three with more money than brains... https://shopgoodwill.com/item/236727122

Is that your jeep in the background? Looks nice!

I have these, but was waiting to see if anybody else could help, because they're my only pair and I was a bit reluctant to part with them. But, considering I buy a new helmet now (with the prices) once every decade or ten, if this is what you're looking for drop a PM. Ron

Thanks! I'm in Wisconsin. Anything from James?

Where are you located?

THAT is one awesome art deco helmet!

I'd remove the antenna and use it for Halloween or other. ;)

To me, this looks like a Prussian infantry officer helmet, Vulcan fiber body, with a lot of cracking and damage. I don't know if Vulcan fiber can be restored, but is there more wrong than I'm seeing? The seller sent me an offer for a percentage off, but I'm not interested in it, just watching...

I already have one, but I do like these with the reservist cross on the eagle.

Anybody know what this one means? Pioneer Battalion... ?? Feuerwehr?

Thanks for sharing! I never knew about these either. Quite a nice piece of history. Ron

The new Import Taxes are playing havoc in a lot of areas.... but that was the plan. Ron

Hallo Udo! Wilkommen. :) Ron

Wilkommen Clemens! Ron

Well, if the pointy thing fits, use it... The one with the 'parade bush', looks like it may have been a theater prop made from an otherwise nice original. :) Ron

Maybe the split brad's 'arms' broke at one point, or the person doesn't want to risk breaking them by bending them outward. Most likely a lot of messing done with this one. Also, the spike is taller than the Bavarian officer helmets I have, but that doesn't mean a thing. Cheers!

Yes, I agree. The spike certainly looks Bavarian. Ron, that's a good point about the star. Another reason to think it's a Bavarian / parts helmet. I had forgotten about that style of Bavarian spike.

I see a wartime general's Pickelhaube. The 'lip' of the spike, where it's on the base should be rolled inward, this one is not, but wartime? A later manufactured type? The chinscale rosettes aren't curved, again, wartime? I'm not interested in the helmet, just wondering what others think...
