Thought some may be interested to know, there is a new website here in the UK with some very impressive and rare WW1 German headdress. I have been InTouch with the owner who says he is not even halfway through listing the collection, and is just listing it randomly as it comes out of the boxes...

An interesting example of a GdC Officers helmet has just appeared on a new website. I am sure there is a thread here an an identical one that was in the same condition, the owner then had it restored. Notably similar as the helmet and eagle are all made of tombak, then silver plated, and in both...

I would be very interested to hear other peoples about this one on ebay. Personally I have my doubts. I suspect a repro shell with original wappen added, possibly original chin scales and maybe original liner. The quality of the brass trim and the look of the peak coverings give me concerns --...

An image of the very fine GdC helmet used to sell repro's from India. Surely this is misleading, I have never seen a repro look anything like as good as that example. I hope they asked permission first to use the image. If you look at his other items, he has done the same with other images from...

Gentlemen, could I please have some opinions on this JzP Officers spike. My concerns are with the lack of quality of the piercings for the air vents. Thank you https://www.ebay.de/itm/Helmspitze-und-Basis-Jager-zu-Pferde-Pickelhaube/323328880052?hash=item4b47e72db4:g:YcMAAOSw6VRbErpq

Been on German ebay for quite a while now. Condition overall not too bad apart from the poorly replaced wappen. Is there anything wrong with the eagle ? Wings look to be further swept back than usual. Also, I see the right hand wing is joined to the foot. Is this a known variation...

Gentlemen, this is currently on German ebay. I have copied and studied the images carefully. The detailing to the Wappen is fine, but then again that can be said of good galvano Wappen of today's quality. What is concerning me is the strange colours of the plate and the pure brass high points...
