    'Haubes around the house.

    I'd like to ask: How many of you guys have a designated collection room? Or do you have Pickelhaubes and helmets in a cabinet in the living room for instance, or maybe stored out of sight in an armoire perhaps? How does it work for you? And what do your wives feel about it if you have them...

    Revenge is sweet but not flattening?

    I dont know if this topic has been raised before but I think it's an important issue on the subject of plate collecting and it's one that's kind of bothered me for years. It's this: Do you 'flatten' a pickelhaube wappen that you wish to display.....or not? I see quite a few that have been...

    Sachsen Casque. Can anyone read the name inside?

    I have this beauty in my small collection. Can anyone tell me what is written inside(last pic) - it might be the wearers name or something? Also, any info on the fabrication mark? I'm a bit out of the loop these days and I've forgotten so much. And - could you tell me what the rank of the...

    Jackboot alternative?

    From my days as an art student I recall thinking that maybe they could have stormed across Europe wearing something like this? I guess these are less tongue-in-cheek efforts: :D

    Vintage wooden milliners hatblocks.

    I have two of these in very good condition for sale if anyone is interested - these make great display stands for helmets. Here is one, it has a nice marking underneath from a French outfitters circa 1900: The red stamp of the shop is under the wood block "Samaritaine, AY, Paris"...

    This was the last one I got......

    I have a love/hate relationship with this one. I wanted a helmet with a cross-base and a square-cut visor but I think it's too flash compared to my other pieces. Prussian 1st. Garde Dragoon, Unteroffizier. The eagle is huge and of superb quality...

    Seeing stars.

    At first glance I thought it was nice but....... Anyway, do the gold stars on this make it 'paymaster' or what? Thats what the seller says it is but I thought that made it Pioneer? Silver stars would be straight Rgt.100 wouldn't it? I don't have any reference handy these days so I'm trying to...

    Tattooed Lady.

    I thought you guy's might dig the tattoo. Here's a detail shot of an as yet unfinished full length portrait of Anneliese, an Austrian model I'm using at present. She actually has this tattoo on her arm. She's not at all 'reserved' as the tat might suggest. ;)

    Gaga about 'haubes.......

    As she is well known for her penchant for weird outfits I wondered if anyone could photoshop the insanely talented Lady Gaga wearing a 'haub and we could send it to her? I'm sure she'd think about incorporating one into her wardrobe if she saw this? What do you guys think? Any excuse to...
