An old friend of mine who used to live in New Ulm, used to own a couple of the showroom swords by Eickhorn. They're really cool, and one of them seldom ever turns up on the market. Congrats, James!

Personally, I feel that the seamstress could have done a nicer job on the re-stitch. I didn't speak with her. The friend I bought this from commissioned her to fix it. Not sure why she has the extended halyard sticking out below the bottom of flag. I believe that she didn't understand how the...

We received 16 inches, or 40.64 centimeters from last Friday afternoon, November 28th at 4:30 p.m., until last Saturday evening, the 29th at 9 p.m. We had the dubious distinction of getting the most snowfall in Iowa, here at Fort Dodge. It's supposed to snow another 5 inches, or 12.7...

Ouch! That's painful with the customs fees, shipping, and current poor exchange rate.

Officer version, or M91 enlisted pattern flat silver chinscales? Not that I have either set. Just curious which type you're looking for in flat silver chinscale set.

Fantastic helmets, Bruno and Thierry! Congratulations! Best Wishes, Alan

My former bank charged $50. My current bank charges $35, and I simply go to a teller to start the process. But it takes most of the day for them to process the transaction, or into the next day, depending upon when I go in to have them complete the paperwork, before the money is wired. It's just...

Hello Henk, I seriously doubt that anyone here on this forum knows who bought it, not even if they were on location at the auction site when the Standard was sold. And obviously Kube will not tell you if you asked him, as he will view the sale as a private business matter and that the buyer...

If the metal fittings on this helmet are silver color, then this is a 2nd Guard Dragoon helmet. It looks like the fittings are nickel silver that have toned in color. Can you please show side view (right and left side)? Can you please show a full interior view which also includes the...

Soak these metal parts in Evapo-Rust product, available at an auto parts store in the USA. It will lift the rust right off the metal.

I second James, it is very cool! Congratulations Bruno!

Other than the Rare, high-end Wurttemburg Ulan ensemble, did anyone notice anything else with the listings? Call me out if I'm wrong, but I seem to be observing a bit of a price adjustment on helmets. And it wasn't an upward adjustment. Am I wrong, am I noticing a drop in prices here with...

LOL, and you bought one from me as well.

I do also know that Ken Hegwood was very proud that several helmets he painted up in modern times are featured in the "Painted Steel" 2-volume set. I'm not saying the 41st Division example from the Mike Haley Collection is one of those. I know Mike, and he wouldn't lie about the provenance of...

I agree 100% with you Peter.

Definitely not an "Apples to Apples" comparison. Not even the same color scheme, and an entirely different design on this helmet with the shape of the "sun rays", compared to the one Peter posted that started this thread. This one attributed to the Mike Haley Collection is actually believable...

I wouldn't call that 41st Infantry Div, A.E.F. insignia. I can see why you're thinking that, but it really is not the insignia of the 41st Div, A.E.F. It has very significant differences. The insignia Peter shows on this helmet is painted onto the side of the helmet, which is not the usual...
