    British collection

    I just posted a bit about my small pickelhaube collection and I thought I would take a couple of photos to post here of the bulk of my collection of British Victorian helmets, helmet plates and waist belt clasps. In fact, completely out of period and theme, my real pride and joy is the RAF...

    Garde private purchase neusilber NCO helmet

    Just acquired from a fellow member. In excellent condition, apart from some denting/ creasing on the top left of the skull which I can live with. I have given it a very light clean. Photos taken in artificial light so may have a yellow cast. The impressive two piece wappen, which is attached...

    Shaping wappen to helmets

    This may have been discussed before, but how were wappen shaped to fit closely and tightly to the curvature of helmets, given there were so many variations in size, manufacturer etc? Were they flat when produced? I am trying to find answers to the same questions about the officer helmet plates...

    Pioneer Battalion 10 EM 1895 pickelhaube

    I got the chance at the weekend to buy this helmet, but had to make a very quick decision. It is clearly marked PB 10 1913 and has the Peninsula Waterloo bandeau on the wappen. I knew enough to know that this bandeau was worn by some units with Hanover connections but had no idea if this...

    Muckleburgh Military Collection Norfolk UK

    I recently visited this collection to see the museum of the Suffolk and Norfolk Yeomanry Regiments. However, the bulk of the collection contains tanks, guns and other vehicles, many of the items in working order. These aren't really my thing but it's quite a collection with some very impressive...

    Saxon 107th Reserve Regiment. Named to Frenzel

    This is a well-marked and named helmet to the Saxon 107th Reserve Regiment. It came with paperwork to Sanitats Unteroffizier Otto Arthur Frenzel 107R. Markings on the left visor are 1904 106R 107 RR 13. On the right side visor is written what, with the benefit of the paperwork, I read as San...

    Scarce saxon

    I have been lucky enough to be able to buy this very scarce Saxon helmet from a fellow member of the forum. It has all the characteristics of Leib-Grenadier-Regiment no 100 , but, I believe, could also be to Pioneer Battalion 12. All fittings, apart from the central device, in brass, are in...

    Un-serrated Reich’s kokarde for Saxon EM M95

    I have a Saxon EM 95, for which I have been able to find the correct un-serrated State kokarde. I now need the same style Reich’s kokarde. Does anybody have one for sale? I know where I can get the paired set, but I don’t want to pay for a Saxon one I don’t now need, or take the risk of not...

    Sappenpanzer trench armour

    I didn’t know where else to post this, but I just wanted to alert those who collect trench armour that there is what is described as Second model ‘Sappenpanzer’ trench armour on csmilitaria.co.uk. I‘d only heard of Grabenpanzer, but it’s not my area of interest. Patrick

    British lance cap plates

    There was a comment from Steve Nick in my recent post on British helmets about the expense of the die used to fabricate a lance cap plate. The one shown was on a 16th Lancers trooper's helmet. The officer plates were even more elaborate, being gilt with silver overlays. Below are a couple of...

    19th(2nd Alsatian) Fortress Pioneer Battalion EM M95

    Not exactly a latest find, as I bought this a couple of years ago from a distinguished member of the forum. However, I haven't posted it before, so I thought I would respond to Brian's urging us to add posts at this difficult time. One of my favourite helmets! The helmet is clearly marked...

    If anybody’s interested, MDL have one for sale. I can’t include a precise link, but it’s at michaeldlong.com, and it’s item SKU VL008. Price is GBP 2750. It’s not in A1 condition, but probably not bad for its age. I know nothing about these and have no idea if this is a decent price. Just to...

    Camouflaged M17

    I've always fancied a camouflaged stahlhelm, but they were either too costly, or problematic. I saw this one, which really appealed to me, and I was able to get it at a price I was very happy with. I believe it's the real thing, but I can live with it if it's not. Views, please. Marked Si66...

    North American weather

    Just a thought for those of you in the US and Canada who are enduring the horrendous weather we’re seeing over here on the news. Apparently the technical term is a ‘polar vortex’. 2 inches of snow and a couple of degrees below freezing stops the country moving in Britain! Look after...
