Whilst staying at the Ariane Hotel (Ypres) recently I was really taken with their half-torso displays and thought it would be a neat way of displaying the odd stahlhelm/pickelhaube with a gumimaske/lederschutzemaske. I can neither afford (nor would wish) to use an original 0fficers feldrock...

I'm not convinced. Looks like "Bucky" and that liner looks just wrong. Never seen that reinforcement under the rear spine before either? http://cgi.ebay.de/Pickelhaube-Braunschweig-spike-helmet-brunswick-casque_W0QQitemZ230448273256QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMilitaria?hash=item35a7c99768

Is such a combination credible? Given Bavaria's late adoption of the kugel did Bavarian Artillery Generals adopt the kugel or did they retain the spike? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250386270314&mfe=sidebar Never seen this combination before so genuinely surprised.

Have you see this on the Weitze site ? Hessen großer Nachlaß aus dem Besitz des Leutnant d. Res. Karl Bäumlein, im Leibgarde-Infanterie-Regt. Nr. 115, Leib-Kompanie weitere Art.-Nr.94469. I think this is brilliant. If offered as a stand-alone helmet we would all probably turn it down as a...

Inspired by Tony's example I have recently acquired my owm example. As often I overpaid (of course !) but whilst not perfect my example shows some clear results of the wartime restrictions. (alt+p) Overall I would guess this example is only 1/3 of the weight of a comparable pre-war haube...

Ok guys, first of all I will fess up to the fact that I have scewed up. I paid for a haube from Germany without getting confirmation of user "Aycanalper"s postal address and subsequently the seller has failed to post me the helmet. :ANGRY: I am now beyond the 60 day E-Bay dispute process and...

Ok, its confession time ! The attached helmet was my first uninformed purchase from E-Bay from an infamous e-bayer from Scotland that was familiar to the old forum......I know, I know ! :( The question is what is it ? The closest I have been able to see in References are the Upeer Beamte...

Sorry for naive questions :oops: but what is the determining factor behind the different finishes one see's on officers pickelhaben in particular ? They seem to range from a high gloss, almost patent finish that reminds me of "bulled" finishes, to almost matt. Do these variations reflect unit...
