Just curious, did all tschapkas have a hole in motarboard for a toggle for the securing cord? Possibly late in the war the saw no use on a tin model? I think I have seen a few on the internet lacking this. Thanks

Oldenburg: I have had this quite a while. I assumed it was model 1891. Figured it was a private purchase, other ranks. Only two holes for wappen. Referencing Kaiserbunker, all the fittings seemed M1891 to me, but the spike only has 2 vent holes: should the spike have more holes for this model...

I bought a Bavarian 1915 grey fitting a few weeks ago on Ebay. I did a search on the site here, and was glad to find some info on the colors. I assumed it was light blue and white, but see that actually it should be silver and lt. blue? I need to paint the replica cockades and wondered, can...

A while back I bought a pickelhaube on Ebay. 1915. The visor is securely attached at both sides by the round head retaining "pins". But, while the stitching is all evident and intact on outside of brim, it has apparently come loose over the years. It does not flop around, but will move slightly...

I have wondered for some time now, and guess I might as well ask: it seems I see two kinds of cockade ( for the 1915), some have a "lip" or ring bordering the middle color ring, and others do not. It is hard to describe this so I uploaded a couple of pictures from Ebay to show the difference. I...

ok, I have tried to figure it out, but will have to show my ignorance...at least I tried. A helmet on Ebay. 1915 Bavarian, grey fitting spike top. A photo shows the mark 2FsAR (unless I am reading it wrong). I logged on to Colonel J's and read thru the non infantry marks, and I guess this is...

I can't bid on this now anyway, but wondered what you all thought. Is it possible for a liner to look that nice? http://cgi.ebay.com/Bavarian-WW1-Spiked-spike-Pickelhaube-helmet-brass_W0QQitemZ220582174888QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item335bb8e0a8

I don't have one, but a number of times I see them on the internet, and they seem complete, but have been squashed by being in a trunk or something. I started wondering if they can be reshaped, gradually, back to original form, or if and how people fix them? Just curious. thanks

Hi, I miss having one of these, so I kept track on Ebay, watching prices, conditions, etc. After missing several bids, and seeing ones I did not want, I got this one. It is just a run of the mill helmet. Looks to me like it has not been messed with much. Has dust under the front plate, no...

Hi, I am fairly new to the site. Among many things I had in the 70's that I decided to sell were two pickelhauben. Both wartime grey fitting, Prussian and Baden. Wish I still had all the stuff, but that was then and this is now. I think I will keep watching Ebay for just a common grey fitting...
