Hello all, I’m looking for an other ranks Sachsen helmet plate. I need one with a silver star and brass coat of arms for regiment 100 or pioneer. Also looking for a silver spike and base with a removable spike. Regards, Richard

Hello All, If anyone is travelling toward Nashville, Tennessee between now and January 21, 2018, there is a WWI art exhibit at the Frist Center. It's titled "World War I and American Art" and is an extensive display of contemporary art from the "American" point of view. For more information...

I spotted this piece on eBay and I just threw a bid at it. Granted it's in rough shape, but if I'm not mistaken it is a Waffenrock from either KR2 or KR4. The only difference between them that I can see is the shade of red on the collar \cuffs. If anyone can figure out the difference please let...

I recently purchased a wartime officer 'haube off eBay. Incomplete and in need of a total resto, my typical modus operandi, but interesting nonetheless. It has solid stitching, rear spine and visor trim that are rusty. Fortunately, I have a zinc officer spike and base. I need some chin scales...

I have a Garde helmet shell that I'm starting a restoration on soon and I have a couple of questions. No photos at this point, but I don't really need any for the following questions: First, there are two stamps on the rear visor - Fd.A.R. (field artillery regiment I believe) on one side and...

A couple of years ago I acquired this helmet shell. It had a complete liner, front visor trim, and rear spine. Fortunately all of the stitching was tight too. As you can see from the photo below, the condition was less than ideal. I thought I'd take my time searching for parts while working on...

This helmet was for sale here and on ebay awhile back. I took a chance on it and was very happy when it turned out to be a legit KR2 helm. The before pictures are here: http://pickelhaubes.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9393&hilit=kr2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'm still...

Just some quick before and after shots of a Lachmann metalhelm. This one sat on ebay for a long time and I made an offer on it and got it for a good price. It's my first metal helmet resto. The only repro part is the chinstrap. Before: After:

Just received my first Garde helmet. Mostly complete but very dirty. It has a maker's mark, A. Wunderlich --Berlin, inside the skull but no issue stamps that I can find. It appears that it has been together for a long time. I removed the wappen and it has a beautiful "ghost" behind it. No...

So many things to say about this one, but the liner is the best. Alligator? http://www.ebay.com/itm/301979421837?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Richard

Take a look at this eagle. I can't tell if it's authentic. It looks okay at first but then some of the details or lack of details make it seem kind of sketchy. :-k http://www.ebay.com/itm/151961378619?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"...

Hi all, I recently purchased this one on Ebay. It needs virtually everything so I think it will take a couple of years to complete(if I'm lucky). The shell is in decent condition (it looks much better in person) with solid stiching and a complete, although very thin liner. I have several...

I'm fairly new at collecting and am trying to get a feel for what's real vs. fake. This was recently on ebay and I'm guessing fake on this one. Any opinions? Thanks.

Hello all, I've been a forum member for about a year, but rarely have anything to post. I need some help identifying a tunic I purchased a couple of years ago. Anything information is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello all, I am new to the forum. I met some of you at the SOS and I appreciate your encouragement to join the group. I'm posting photos of a mantel in my collection. I'd like to know more about it. Please let me know what you think.
