Hello guys, Joes markings homepage seems to have some problems....Does somebody know? Philippe ;)

Gentlemen, Beware!!! This Überzug has never been on this helmet and green numbers are fake...Painted recently... :thumbsdown: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Casque-%C3%A0-pointe-Brunswick-Pickelhaube-Braunschweig-92-R/133625594731?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Further...

Hi Gents, Do you have the same problem? I can not access to Joes site at the moment...It´s only showing "bluehost" :ANGRY: http://pickelhauben.net/old-site/comments.htm Philippe :wink:

This one was my last 2018 found, and maybe my best in my small humble collection. It was worth it to drive more than 1000 miles from North Germany to pick it up in eastern France. Recently found where it has been lost, 10 September 1914 in Saint-Dié. It stood three generations in the family of...

Hi Gents, This is a recent found in a north german house. Quite uncommon to find a Württemberg helmet in this area...But the story of wearer will explain it all. The liner has a "well worn" appearance: Clearly marked PB13 and 1912 dated. Owner also wrote: Sergt. BRUHNS, 2/Pi.13...

To the attention of Joe, here are some new stamps for the list! :wink: JR94 1910 and IB RJR94 125R (late maker mark of 1914 in the shell) 103RR 2B C7 It seems this helmet never was in an active unit before. FR86 IIIB FR86 1899 IB 1913 MGK Garnitur I and II Philippe

Gents, As Ron suggested in a parallel post, it could be interesting to make an analysis of the chemical treatment of M15 fittings and compare the different hues of grey. I only have two M15, they are both saxon. One very dark with owner name in it of a guy (Moritz THIEME I) in the 6/RJR245...

Hi Gents, What´s up with Joes website? Inpossible to get on it since a few hours.... :o Philippe :wink:

Hello Guys, This one helmet with Überzug is my favorite in my small helmets collection, probably the only one I would try to keep if I ever have to sell my collection. First, I have to thank Joe, who sold it to me at the beginning of 2017. It was not cheap, but it was worth it! So this topic is...

Hello Gents, Normally, I do not like officer headgear so much...But there are some exceptions, when the wearer can be tracked :wink: Proudly present the Tschapka with its original Überzug, worn 1912-1918 by Leutnant Ulrich Graf von Reischach (1893-1972), 2. Eskadron Ulanen Regiment 20...

Hello Gents, I have since a few weeks the same problem as I already had one or two years ago . I never get notified when a new reply has been posted in a thread I am following. In all my threads, I always check that the box "Notify me when a reply is posted" is activated. So it is in my User...

Hello Gents, This is my latest find. German WWI bugle with the scarce Mecklenburg-Strelitz Wappen always have been there on it (II/GR89). The wappen is showing the same dents and signs of intensive use as the rest of the bugle. So I am thinking that the origin of this bugle is M-Strelitz. Nice...

Hi Gents, This is my latest find, to be seen in the "shako rubric" : http://www.pickelhaubes.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=10754" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Philippe :wink:

Hi Gents, Found this for a couple of days \:D/ RJB8 Tschako with its original Überzug, battle damaged and both with matching regimental marks and same size (57). First JB8, then RJB8 with green painted "R" over the sewn green "8". But the best: identity of wearer (4/RJB8) is tracked and...

Hi Gents, Saxon EM helmets have always been something particular for me in the spikes world. I am not able to tell why. Maybe because of their own kind of markings...Or simply because they are looking great with the big saxony star.... M15 haubes are by far not my favorites, but for Saxony, I...

Hello Gents, Found this last year. I am still searching for period picts of such a helmet in action to understand what it really is. I have only the pict that Robert posted on this forum a few years ago. Maybe it is a Versuchs-Helm, maybe a helmet worn in hot...

Hi Guys, I know that officers can be tracked and traced in the Ehrenrangliste. Is it the same with Offizierstellvertreter who mostly were Feldwebel der Reserve? In this case I am owning the helmet of Offizierstellvertreter Karl Steinel (Mannheim), 8. Compagnie, II/RJR76. I found out in the...

Gents, Can someone help me to get some more informations about the following guy? Reserve Offizier Hugo von Lettow Vorbeck. He should have been killed in action on the 10 September 1914 at plateau de Vauclerc, near Craonne and was in a prussian unit (classic line infantery). I could found...

Hi Gents, Nothing spiky this time, but I could not resist :-" It comes straight from the bavarian family, with picts and documents about the wearer, Oberarzt and Bataillon Arzt Dr Hans Westermaier, born 28.4.1887, died 01.10.1938. He lost one leg at the Chemin des Dames, september 1917...
