Still, they add value—at least I think so—though apparently they aren't that easy to find.

Hello, maybe you could also take some photos of the inside and post them here.

Hello Dane, that’s a really beautiful weapon for your collection. Things are very different here in Belgium; gun laws are extremely strict. I used to have a permit for a weapons collection, but I gave it up over time. I had a lot of WWII weapons—almost every type of German weapon, even mortars...

Welcome! You're just like me; I used to collect German WWII items too, but now I collect *Pickelhaubes*.

Nice collection by the looks of it, the best, what we dream of, right?

If it were an addition to my collection, I would have bought this one immediately, but I only collect infantry, so with a pin and fur hats. It is a nice, complete one; if it had been a Pickelhaube, I would have bought it.

I am looking for Hessen 23-24th Dragoon Officer Pickelhaube Are there any here who trade one? I'm from across the Atlantic.

I think this piece would fit well in any collection; very nice, M15.

We have all had to deal with cleaning up preliminary work related to our hobby at some point. I’d really like to know how you all clean up the various parts to make them look good as a whole. I know you can polish copper with copper polish, but there must be a way to clean copper that is heavily...

I let everything unfold in its own time, like this one.

Hello. Well, a lot of those things were war booty; they were mostly various pieces kept as souvenirs.

Some also use this.

Maybe that would be a good idea here; we often see nice Pickelhaubes pass by, but never anything that actually convinces me—or it turns out to be a fake. After all, we’re all here to learn from one another—from both the good things and the mistakes—and that’s exactly the kind of area where we...

I’m posting this here for the absolute beginners so they don’t get caught out—there is some real rubbish being offered for sale, let me tell you. Even I still fall into the trap sometimes, but I’ve become very cautious with all those offers; the pieces you see here aren't always the nice ones...

had nothing else related, but it's just how they all portray it, isn't it?

Five beautiful M15 Pickelhaubes; unfortunately, I am also still looking for a Württemberg one.
