    Pickelhaube and yet not Pickelhaube

    A very desirable way to display the wappen. Obviously, the person was skilled at reshaping the metal and not causing undue tension or breaks. A very nice piece. Wappen on crests can be addictive. Trust me. I have over 35 Wappen of Imperial/Reichsmarine and Kriegsmarine. Make fascinating...

    The best of the year.

    For picking up four helmets in a year span, and you saying that you are no longer "Actively Collecting" anymore. 😆 :LOL: 😆:ROFLMAO: I think this is a verbal "line" we all tell our significant others or spouses; when another item arrives in the mail and you unpack your newest helmet/badge or...

    To bad the price is too high

    Remember, most of the world doesn't place as much value on these as we do. (In this case, the seller thinks that he can get this.). :). There is a make an offer. Never hurts to try if you are serious. Best Regards, JustinG

    Variations on the M1842 Pickelhaube Eagle Plate

    In post 8 and 11 there are feathers midway, that are separated. Is this the retaining pin where it would have the screw post or loop to attach inside the helmet itself? On Post number 5 on the left hand Eagle you can see clearly the circle being present. Do these have different fixtures for...

    U-BOAT GUN SIGHT

    I believe this is for a torpedo launcher (hence the UBTS u. TBTS. (unterseeboots und Torpedoboots). Looks like this could be removed as the feet have a Slide (resembles a tounge and groove) This is just my observations. This device would be able to be detached or attached if needed IMHO...

    K.M. Officer's Cap

    I just want you to be aware. Much of his headgear is highly suspicious. There is a Niobe Tellermutze that has strings with a very likely bogus Warehouse stamp. Much of this persons inventory is bad or put together to part collectors into getting some genuine items, like the Mützenband and the...

    K.M. Officer's Cap

    I don't have good feelings about this cap. The Insignia is very thick. The Interior sweatband liner and the "newness" look has me also suspicious. These are just my observations. Best Regards JustinG
