I need a matched pair of neusilber visor brads to complete a pickelhaube where my pair's finish has worn off over-time to its base brass. Please let me know if you might have a pair available in your parts bin for sale. Thank you. Joe

I am restoring a M15 Prussian Enlisted Pickelhaube and am missing 3 of the round gray retaining studs that affix the spike base to the helmet. I am interested in purchasing all three that are needed, or a set of four, 2 or even one if you happen to have any extras in your parts bin. I...

Hi, I am looking for a nice clean pair of Officers Pickelhaube Rosettes with with split posts in a neusilber to complete a project. The finish can be slightly worn. Size I am looking for can range between 2.5mm to 3mm in width. Please let me know if you might have an extra set you would be...

Here is my latest acquisition after a little cleaning and polish. A nice 1895 Landwehr Artillery Officers helmet fresh out of Germany. The leather is in pretty good shape and still relatively supple. The fire gold gilt on the Wappen really jumps out now and she's how ready to join the others...

I hope members of the forum might be able to help me translate the abbreviations that appear on the inside dome of an early 1860-70 Pickelhaube and on the rear visor. They are heavily worn and hard to make out, but I have attached a few photos that might help. Any suggestions or thoughts would...

I have had a nice old 1860's-70's period line Infantry Pickelhaube in my collection, but lately its caught my eye next to its younger pre-WWI counterparts who stand out with bright brass. The pickelhaube is in fairly good shape, all things considered with a couple of parts that need to be...

Material related to Austrian and German alpine troops is always hard to come upon. My last posting focused on an Ice Ax from a Baden Machine Gun Company. The Austrian sword of Mountain Troops and in particular the Officers sword is a unique item. In 1907 a short sword with an ornate (with...

Though not a Pickelhauben, this Ice Ax I thought readers might be interested in seeing as they are rarely found, let alone unit marked. This particular Ax belonged to the 250th Maschinen-Gewehr-Abteilung (MGA). This Ice Ax is a long shaft version of which only a small number were provided to...
