Does anyone have a MG Spaten gathering dust? I would like to find one

I have been trying to research IR 418, most of the links I have found are dead ends. Does anyone have information they could share or direct me to a good source? I’m trying to find some info for a young collector friend that picked up a P.08 with markings as pictured. My translation of the...

Tentatively looking for a brass and white metal Prussian telegraph buckle. Or anything else similar? Thanks Andrew

I have what I suspect is an incomplete manners mark on a leather strap ( 08/15 Sling) the marking reads E. de la Croix Berlin 1918 Can anyone confirm the makers name? I know someone had a list of makers markings a while back. Regards Andrew

This followed me home today model of 1868 Rupennhelme, for artillery and Chevaulegers. It needs a bit of love but for its age it’s in reasonable order. There’s a brass strip missing, the “caterpillar “ is detached and an additional pompom is missing from above the cockade.

This is well out of my field of interest or expertise,and not really the era I collect (I’m more WW1), it’s a Bavarian Rauppenhelm, that much I know. I somehow now own it and should pick it up this weekend. Is it good, bad, indifferent? Thanks in advance Andrew

I purchased some of the chin strap buckles off eBay some time ago and they got the better of me today, I finally put one together using a scrap of old leather strap ( yes it’s a bit short). These buckles appear to have been cut in a water jet cutter and have the usual cut marks that a water jut...

Here’s a helmet that had languished on my shelf for quite some time, this was in a bulk lot of three neglected helmet shells I found on eBay.fr . The only thing remotely interesting about these helmet shells was this one with MG markings as I have a misguided passion for MG08’s. I rehydrated the...

Hi All I’m in need of a visor with brass trim and a rear spine in brass to fit a size 55 Pickelhaube. If anyone can help please advise. I have a pioneer helmet rear spine which I brought as a brass one. It was lacquered and the pictures made it look like brass. The tab the fits under the spike...

Hi All, Just a heads up that the page may have an unwelcome visitor. this just popped up in my messages from Pickelhaubes.com, I’m pretty sure Emily is not a Pickelhaube collector.

Hi All This is something I recently acquired and I must admit it is something I know very little about. I know these are heavily faked. So if you have your more of an idea about these than I do please give me an option. Thank you Andrew

I finally have a M1915 Bavarian helmet to add to my humble helmet selection.

Hi All Not new but rediscovered, this one is Prussian Guard. Dated 1915 and complete with owners name. Can anyone decipher the Regiment detail?

A metal pickelhaube has been something that has always eluded me. I have seen three or four over the years and this time I was able to add one to my collection, there was some keen competition for it once bidding started but I still feel I was able to get it for a reasonable price. It is a...

Hi All Looking for a chamber cleaning tool for a MG08 MG08/15. They are a crank handle type tool. Any other 08 bits could be of interest. Thanks Andy
