Johan is indeed on Facebook, so @LukeTheMan , if you're on Facebook too, here is a link to his page there. https://www.facebook.com/johan.mille.102 Good luck! He is indeed a very nice guy, and will answer you, I bought all his books via Facebook too. (Volume 1 to 9) Regards, Coert.

The plate on my M15 JzPf.

@Kaisersammler , vielen dank für ihre beitrage, wenn sie meine beitrage hier gelesen hatt, dann wissen sie das es für mir das selbe ist, meine grossvater hat die krieg auch uberlebt., aber ist gestorben wenn ich zu jung wahre, um ihn etwas zu fragen..

Usually, this phemonenum is called spidering on these haubes. Quite common to see it, after all those years. I agree with Brian, some shoepolish would sort this out/ make it less visible. Some of my helmets have this too.

I couldn't agree more with you Brian! 👍

You are certainly not really the only one, who's really missing Steve, so do I. When I joined up here, he told me so much, I learned a lot from him, also way after my first joining up. And I'm, like you, certainly not the ony one.

I agree, especially on the learning of other people about these helmets, medals and such, also about WW1 history. I am also a motorcycle rider, and a member of a forum dedicated to them. Sometimes when a fellow member comes to visit me for spare parts, which I have a lot of, they are amazed by...

Good to see you back again Gus, and clear of cancer! I already saw you posting on that FB group too, I am a member there to, though I don't react there much. (y)

And so do I!

Indeed we are. I see us collectors like curators, caring for them, so they will be everlasting collecting objects when we are long gone.

Indeed. M91 posts way too high for starters..

Thank you for downgrading the collection community, to a state/group of mental cases. ;)

A very nice R v/d H example! (y) :)

So am I, I bought many helmets from forum members, never had any issue what so ever, alway's correct, perfect buy's. I geuss, since this guy was banned before, he was already quite not our kind of guy. Second chances are fine, but not with this type.

Excellent work again Brian! This tschako is just like it was, when being issued! A first for me too, a Seebattallion shako in neusilber. Fine workmanship, a trade long gone, but not with Brian at the wheel/needles! :) 👍

If it would come for sale, I'd be a buyer. Would take a while to find all of the parts needed, but I have the time. Regards, Coert.

It's great to see you back online Gustaf!

And so do I, though I haven't 400 of them, unfortunately. I really like the helmets Amy posted , very rare examples, and rare ones too! I for one haven't seen 1 of them for sale in years..

I agree, it is in fact an addiction, collecting, then again, I won't let it get the better of me, so I couldn't pay my bills though. I have, like so many others, gone through quite heavy times in the '80's, when work was difficult to get, I just took whatever job I could get, even way below my...

Wow, thats indeed a nice collection, but also a lot of space! At the moment I have 20 pickelhaubes, 10 Adrian helmets, an m1917 english helmet, M16 german, and a Dutch M33 helmet, but all in my livingroom. And space left too.
