Here is a little find from a few weeks ago. It's a permit given to a Belgian soldier to go from 1 part of the lager to another part without any armed guard. It might be just a little piece of paper and not in the best condition but i can't imagine there were alot of these given to prisoners of...

Since i was reorganizing my collection room and i needed a break from that, i tought i would take some pictures of 1 of my Belgian ww1 uniforms. The trousers are dated november 1917 and were made in England. Unfortunately i can't find the label on them. Greetings Pickelhaube

I don't think this one was posted yet. Who doesn't want this helmet in his collection. :D Maybe it was a bad idea that i would post this helmet here, somebody else might snipe it. ](*,)...

Yesterday i was walking on a fleemarket when somebody said he had a helmet and some papers in his car which he had found while clearing out an old barn. Not expecting something exciting i went with him, but when he pulled out this helmet, i knew i had to have it. It's not a camouflagepatern i...

Is it just me or did somebody else noticed it also that most Bavarian m15 pickelhaubes lose the paint on the hardware (spikes, helmplates)? I might be wrong, but in my opinion i see alot more Bavarian m15's without paint then i see the same thing with Prussian or other m15's. Greetings...

Here is one of my latests acquisition to my collection. The seller found it during an houseclearing near Vimy ridge. The helmet started life as a model 1896 and was later changed into a model 1915. I know i had to buy it when i saw the Bambus marking on the interior. I've seen Bambus marked...

Last weekend i went to Ypres and i was surprised to see these lions at the menin gate. In 1822 they were placed at the entrance of the cloth hall in Ypres and in the mid 19th century these lions were moved to the place where the menin gate is located now. All the soldiers who left Ypres on their...

This is a box from the kaiserliche marine which contained 700 bullets. It still has alot of original tags and it's complete (without the bullets ofcourse). The box was waterproof. I only saw 1 other one, but that box was missing the strap, tags and some other things. The dimensions are...

Tought i would share this miniature "bonnet de police". I found this on a fleamarket and i'm sure it's something that the Belgian soldiers could buy for their wife. I haven't seen another one yet, but because how it's made it would surprise me that there are no more of these around. You can...

Since i have a day off from work, i decided to take some photo's of 1 of my dragoner helmets. This was my 2nd pickelhaube i ever owned and still one of my favorites. I know the silverwash turned black on some places, but im afraid to clean it because this helmet still has his...
