Sometime after the weekend, I will have to sort through my unorganized boxes of real photo postcards and CDV's, and Cabinet Cards. I know I have at least one photo of a wartime JzP enlisted helmet being worn by one man flanked by two younger women. I will see if I can find it and post it here...
That's a great looking and rare helmet! Congratulations Doug!
It will be great to see Brian's re-stitch progress and completion here.
Best Wishes,
Alan
Brian,
Your wonderful and amazing level of patience, skill and also being so very extra careful with not damaging a delicate silk liner in an officer helmet re-stitch project is beyond my level of comprehension. You are the "King" of re-stitching on these helmets. We're lucky to be able to...
It won't get mailed anywhere outside of the US. A long package like this with a sword makes for a not-so-great situation with having to pass through customs going outbound from the US, and inbound into customs in any country in the world when being mailed.
It was simply a nice, wishful thinking...
Yes, I finally met him this past January at the SOS. He bought a couple of helmets from me. A super nice guy.
I've purchased some parts from him in the past, and the transaction was always quick and smooth as well, as Willi said.
Best Wishes,
Alan
I would love to be able to mail this to someone in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, or any number of countries in Europe.
I am guessing it would be very cost prohibitive to mail it to a member living outside of the USA. I also do not know which countries other than the U.K. which do not allow...
Now at $300 or "Best Offer". Same terms as above.
You're not going to find one of these on eBay in this nice of condition at this price, plus having to pay your state sales tax on eBay.
I can't really do anything about the shipping cost with the postal service, because they're going to "ding"...
Offered for sale is an original M15 leather chinstrap with the gray metal slide buckles and attachment ends.

Offered for sale is a nice condition OD89 Model Prussian Infantry Officer Sword with fixed crossguard.
Nickel scabbard is dent/ding free. There is a bit of wear to the nickel finish on one edge of the scabbard, on the edge with the two hanger rings. Otherwise, the finish is nice. The camera...

Hi Peter,
Here are photos of my mini helmet inkwell with an eagle top:
Best Wishes,
Alan
It looks like there is some one's name scratched into the bottom of the inkwell. I didn't notice this until I took the photos.
You did read/understand that I said "full retail price", correct? ;)
Yes, of course, there is a difference between a "full retail price" and a "collector to collector price" or a "private person to private person price." I did not quote a "private to private price" or a "collector to collector...
I am certainly willing to sell the Tschapka separately from the Rabatte, if anyone here is interested in one or the other item only.
My guess is that most here are not interested in a Parade Rabatte with an M15 Wartime enlisted Tschapka. Maybe someone wants the rabatte for a pre-war tschapka...
