Just advertised some odd and ends on eBay.co.uk under the username garlanj2003. Take a look and let me know if you’re interested in anything. Thanks

As you can see, my photographic skills are pretty appalling 😊 Couple more shots Thanks

Very nice sword made by Alex Coppel of Solingen in 1891 and is complete with scabbard. Both the sword and scabbard are marked to 25D 1 14 – 25th Dragoons, 1st Squadron, issue number 14. In addition to the sword, a partial sword knot is present for the 1st Squadron (white acorn and tassle), plus...

Clearing out some of my odds and ends and have this going spare from a pre WW1 from dunkelblau uniform. Very good condition, some fading (but then it is 120 years old!) but NO mothing. Nicely embroidered numerals in red. Its on ebay UK at the moment https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134573156960 ...

Just to add to the debate, if it was a pioneer helmet, shouldn’t it have brass chinscales and gilded stars?

SOLD to a forum member, many thanks

Any offers please otherwise it’ll go on eBay Thanks

Slightly better pictures

1. Prussian Jager reserve officer wappen with voided crown and silver reserve cross. Most of the gilding remains (despite the poor picture). Old damage to the ‘chicken on a stick’ which has period repair the upper of which has come free. I think this is probably wartime manufacture as it has...

Very nice Prussian M15 officer’s helmet as discussed here https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/m15-prussian-officer.17494/. I’ve got to start a clear out and as this isn’t Hanoverian, it’s the first to go. Some wappen and odds and ends will be posted over the coming weeks. Shell is in...

Got this a while back as I’d always wanted an M15 officer but they didn’t come up for sale that often. Overall in good condition, appears to be fibre but unfortunately there’s a little split in the rear peak. Metalwork all appears to be brass ( no plated zinc). Just wondered what everyone...

And my brass JB10

These are the pics i have, let me know if theres anything else you'd like to see? Silk is very worn but I do like the ribbon and of course the stars are replacements (hence the modern nuts)

Well, the original wappen might have been questionable but the topic has brought out some fantastic helmets. Thanks all for sharing your wonderful examples. All the best Jeremy

Thanks Bruno Once again, a lovely haube. So from what's been said, both the overlay and the wappen could be genuine although what else is the sealing wax covering I wonder? I'm not, but just incase anyone is interested, here is the link on the Saleroom website Brunswick Pickelhaube . Oh and of...

So, that shows my ignorance. If it's a duchy wappen, it shouldn't have the FR, no matter if its a reserve or if it has the fuerst bandeau? You live and learn. I wasn't considering bidding but just found the wax on the back an inteesting alternative to super glue :) Gentlemen, once again thank...

Hi all A German auction house has a rather beat up JR 92 haube for sale at the moment and just out of curiosity I asked for some more detailed pictures of the front and back of the wappen. Naturally there are 2 sets of holes in the shell, but has anyone ever seen the back of a wappen like this...

Lovely helmets Amy and both in fantastic condition. I just love those wappen. Hope you’ve left some Hanoverians out there for the rest of us 😂

Fantastic job as ever Brian. What do you use to bring the metalwork up like that? Cheers Jeremy
