Hello Everyone! I have a duplicate M15 Tschapka in my collection that I would like to offer up for sale. I am asking for $1795 US Dollars for it. That will include shipping to any of the contiguous 48 states. Shipping anywhere else will be at cost including full insurance. Description: I would...

Folks, May I present something you probably may not have ever seen or will ever see again in a set of groupings. A completely new wappen and shoulderstraps to the same unit in the span of 15 years. On the left, we have a pre- January 24th 1899 Helmet and Waffenrock to a Sergeant in DR9 On the...

Hello Everyone, Looking to purchase a pair of wappen posts with retaining nuts. If you have a broken officers wappen that has the retaining nuts that would work. Please let me know. John

Would anyone have a listing for this officer? I believe it to be: Kurrrasier Regiment 4 E (?) Hoffman ? 3 Eskadron 1909 Thank for any help! John

May I present my feldgrau Officer Schirmmutze and EM Krätzchen for either the GdK or KR 4 regiments. The Krätzchen is from Karel's collection. I thought it paired with an Officers Schirmmutze would make a fitting tribute to him. Notice that this private purchase has a separate lower band which...

Offering for sale this Attila from my collection. This is a duplicate, so this one is looking for a new home. I would rate this Attila a 3.5 out 5. Unmarked, no stampings or any other ID marks. It has a couple of pencil head size moth holes, some wear on the back of the sleeve cord as shown...

Folks, This cuirass would be for a pre 1912 officer which was before the trophy was awarded and worn on the cuirass. Enjoy! John

My example of Garde Reiter Officer pre pickelhaube. Enjoy!

Switching to Infantry:

One of the toggle buttons fell off in my hand. Didn't get a chance to sew it back on. Private purchase unstamped attila.

Here is a rather rare waffenrock. You can see it's use in CptBob's post here: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/garde-kurassier-regiment-group-photo-1913.16341/

Folks, May I present something that we almost always see in photographs but rarely see in color. It's a very well marked Drillich. I must also beg your indulgence for the visor cap as I believe it to be a Husaren #8 but it's almost exactly the same colors as the UR16 one. Enjoy, John

Gents, Does anyone have any info on Heinrich Dautzenberger? He entered service with the Saxon Uhlans in 1904 as an officer candidate (Fähnrich) and made Lieutenant in 1905. By war’s end in 1918 he might have been a Rittmeister (Captain). I was only able to find a 1911 Rangliste entry of...

This a is private purchase non depot marked waffenrock. Seems to have had quite the medal bar as well as the Iron Cross 1st Class. Would love to find out who he was...

Here is a very interesting wappen. The standard for bandeau wappen identification has always been that for officer wappens the bandeaus are soldered on and that EM wappens are always of 1 piece stamped construction that included the bandeau. In this case the wappen breaks the general rule and it...

For reference purposes I am adding my Kurrasier Regt Konigin (Pommersches) Nr. 2 NCO Private Purchase wappen which is of officer quality. Notice the silver solder on the posts. Also note the horizontal scoring on the bandeau letters. I assume this was so the paint adhered better to the wappen.

Today, I will share with everyone the importance of having as much reference material on our hobby as possible. In one of my earlier Groupings posts I shared with the forum a DR 9 EM helmet and waffenrock. I will share with you a subsequent helmet I have purchased that would also display with...

I am offering the following helmets from my collection: 1) A very nice Saxon Civil Officers Helmet. Silver fittings that has some silver wear in places and the brass is showing through. I am unsure if it's a Police, Fire, Customs or Sauerkraut Inspector. The rear visor has a silver trim which...

Hello All, I am offering up this interesting tschapka. The reason this helmet caught my eye was the strange zip-zag pattern on the inside inner shell of the helmet. I don't know what material this is but it almost seems like a pressed paper or thin wood. I don't believe this was bond helmet as...
