Hi I am looking for a Stirnpanzer in good condition with makers marks. Please email me at [email protected] should anyone be interested in parting with one.
Happy New Year

So I just picked up this little beauty. It is about the size of a take away coffee cup, but despite its small size it has real character.
It is made from the brass of a French 75 mm shell. The spike is a Bullet with the cartridge sheaped to form the spike base. I think the wappen is a German...
Hi,
I have been searching for an M15 Küirassier spike and base for about a year. Does anyone have one they would be willing to part with for a good price?
Please email me at [email protected]
Thanks

Ok after 3 years of looking I finally have a matching set of correct rosettes for this helmet. I found the first during the initial restoration phase of the project but only found the second a couple of weeks ago.
These rosettes complete a three year odyssey and is one of my longest restoration...
Hi,
I am very keen to round out my Saxon GR collection with a good condition officers helmet plate. Willing to pay a solid price (but keen not to have the bank manager aka wife pounding down the door).
Please email me at [email protected]
Yours in soldiering

So this happened before Christmas. After scrounging for many months and selling a few military antiques I finally found and was able to afford the helmet of my dreams. It sits proudly on my desk next to my GdC helmets and my French 1840s cuirassier helmet and cuirass.
I managed to sneak it...
I have recently brought an Officer’s SGR. The nutsack of the lion has 7 stamped on it and the rear paw has 3 109. The lion is quite tarnished but a quick rub over to remove has lightly shined some areas. The shell is also very tarnished and needs a good clean with soapy water. Tarnish on the...
Hi,
This is a long shot I know, but I am very interested in buying an Enlisted SGR in original and complete condition.
Willing to pay a good and fair price.
Please email me if you know of one for sale or wish to part with one

Hi,
I have some sad news to share. Today I learnt that Cameron Laughlin passed away. It appears he died of a heart attack 10 days ago, but was only found this week. Cameron had had a difficult year and was slowly rebuilding his life and his business.
Cameron was a good friend and arguably one...
Ok after reading this thread I have been literally having kittens. Based on the advice from Dragooner I grabbed a needle and headed upstairs to my study. Unscrewed the eagle from my helmet and applied the needle point to the metal resulting in a small scratch, numerous times, to see if it was a...
Hi,
I am after the following parts:
Brass EM screw type rosettes. Matching pair if possible, one if it is on offer,
M15 spike and base.
Please email me at [email protected] if you have any on offer.

Morphy's auctions seem to have a mix of great militaria and outright fake rubbish. I recently brought two French cuirasses from them at a great price. Unfortunately I also brought one of their 'reproduction' helmets which was a mix of original French parts and absolute rubbish reproduction...
Hi Peter,
Great helmet. I am trying to restore one at the moment. I was wondering if you have any spare parts from the second helmet? I am particularly after rosaces and chin scales.
Please PM me if you have any spares.
Regards
Steve
