Recently added to the collection. An Anhaltisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 93 officer’s Pickelhaube.

Just added to the collection.

I am very sad to report that Steve McFarland (KAGGR#1 here) passed away on Thursday, 29 January. Steve was suffering from various health issues for quite a while. I first met Steve in 1994 when I met him at his house to buy some display cabinets. He had them custom made for his collection but...

Help needed in identifying this helmet. What is it?

Just arrived. A Sachsen Fußartillerie Reserve officer’s Pickelhaube. I like the Vulkanfiber helmets as they can retain their shine after all these decades.

Thanks to a fellow collector here on this forum, I added this private purchase Tschako for Hannoversches Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 10 to my collection yesterday. In beautiful, untouched condition.

Enjoy

As Inhaber to the Bayr. 8. Infanterie-Regiment.

Gentlemen, Age of Kings recently featured a Bavarian Infanterie-Leib Regiment officer's Pickelhaube on a recent weekly update. It was quickly sold before I managed to see the price. Does anyone recall or capture the price on that helmet? Many thanks, Mike

I decided to group some of my Bavarian pieces together as I not only collect Pickelhauben, but also items related to specific regiments and including headgear and uniforms. Generally, I also display related items together in my cabinets. Bavaria is one of my favorite regions of Germany and have...

Gentlemen, I am looking for an officer version of the Hamburg Kokarde for a Pickelhaube. I know it is a long shot but if you don't ask, you never know. Photo attached of what I am looking for. Mike

Though my first focus when I began collecting Imperial was Pickelhauben, I quickly started adding uniforms, insignia, shoulder straps and epaulettes to the collection. That said, my very first purchase of a Pickelhaube was this Badisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 14 helmet in beautiful condition. As...

Anyone recognize the maker which used this logo?

I have always loved having boxes to accompany most anything -- as they say, an original box with the item makes it more desirable though these came separately with the headgear that once resided inside. I do not collect Tschapkas and these may have been meant for those. I leave it to more...

Can someone identify the General with Kronprinz Rupprecht (shown on the right)?

This isn't Pickelhaube related, but like many Imperial collectors, my interests extend beyond headgear and one of my focuses is on Imperial German Army veteran organizations and their pins. Here is one for a monument dedication on 5 October 1924 for the 3. Garde-Feldartillerie Regiment. I have...

I just recently added this CDV to my photo and postcard collection. As can be seen on the reverse, it is a Hauptmann v. Collani in the image. Since the studio was in Angermunde, I will assume he was with the III. Batallion there as the rest of the regiment was in Prenzlau. The unit is...

Not recent finds but rather purchased at the 2023 Show of Shows and in the condition I like.

Everyone, Please tell me what you think of this liner and sweatband. Mike
