I was just looking at an overview with the number of inhabitants each German state of the Kaiserreich had. I noticed Sachsen had twice as much inhabitants as Baden and Württemberg (about 4.8 against 2.1 and 2.4 million). Since I see Saxon Haubes much less frequent than the other 2, I found this...

This one recently arrived but wanted to check what you think about the wappen. It looks a bit like it belonged to a bigger Haube, but this is already a relatively large size. All other helmets I have, have a Wappen with a tight fit to the Haube. It's not straight out of the woodwork as they say...

I gave it some thought and decided that I will let this helmet go. It's a battle damaged Württemberg helmet with nice markings: Regiment 122 1 Batallion 2 Companie 1901 Unknown marking Maker stamped as well on other side of rear visor but I can only read "dorf". Notice the damaged antlers on...

I was at the militaria show yesterday in Ciney (Belgium). Wasn't looking for anything in particular but bought this nice artillerie Filz Pickelhaube (a large size) and a Kugelhandgranate. I'm quite pleased with them.

I recently bought a k98 bayonet, but it came with this frog. Apart from the fact it's unfortunately damaged, it seems to have a 1916 manufacturing date. Maybe from a WW1 S84/98? There's another marking looking a bit like Reit. R1 but I'm not entirely sure.

For some reason I never got to add a Filzhaube to my collection. I've been screening for one for about half a year but most of the time they're priced too high or they have been bended or ripped or a combination ot both. I found this one at the Military expo at Ciney in Belgium two weeks ago...

Hi everyonw, Some of you maybe saw this helmet on ebay. It's a bit deformed and missing the cockades but has some nice markings, has been hit by shrapnel and was sold by a family member so put a higher bid on this one. Anyway, I need other opinion about the markings. The seller asked his older...

I was still missing a Württemberg Pickelhaube in the collection and filled that void a couple of weekse ago with this EM Haube made from Stahlblech. Size 54 Just a few pictures so you get an idea:

Braunschweig spange. The EK and Frontkämpfer Ehrenkreuz are marked. 189 incl. Shipping in EU

Hi everyone, What's up with this chinstrap? Both the leather and the metal look very battered. Maybe it's just the pictures but I've not seen this on chinstraps before. Also notice the left leg and the "F" on his chest as well as some other places. Looks like the metal corroded and was...

I wanted to post this Sterbebild (death card) I recently bought but didn't really find a fitting category, so I'll try this subforum. I have a few death cards of Germans who died during the third battle of Ypres. This one was not technically killed during that huge offensive, but in the very...

Tunic belonging to a first lieutenant of the 2nd "Indian Head" Division. Taylor made in Paris and named but not entirely sure of the name (William Prickett or something?). All buttons are marked with "Paris" as well. Included with the uniform is the officer belt, marked Birmingham 1918. Asking...

Hi everyone, I'm on the lookout for a saxonian filz helmet. If anyone encounters a nice one (and don't want to buy it themselves, haha) I would appreciate it to let me know. :) regards

I don't have a very large collection but have some items I would like to share here. I mainly collect German and French WW1 but sometimes I make an exception for other pieces that speak to me. Here 2 Bavarian helmets. Officer and EM 2 IR, marked Nürnberg 1916

Hi everyone, I'm new here and immediately have a questions for you guys. I recently bought this M15 Artillerie helmet. In the description of the offer, there was nothing mentioned about any markings. Which there are indeed not on the rear visor (there is a surname of the soldier though). But...
