Wood is excellent for softer / thinner metals.

Thanks! Just looking for a good set of convex scales and rosettes. Not in a big rush.

Just a small tweak on this. The spike base was dented and bent, so after getting the proper tools, I did a little work and got it lined up better. Without the studs, it looked pretty good, but once three were on it, the bend was obvious on the front, with about a 1cm gap, or 'lift' to that...

I may be mistaken, but didn't this regiment have a line eagle with a bandeau and FWR on the breast until 1900? If it was purchased by the individual before 1900, and they switched to the Garde eagle, then wouldn't they relocate the holes or resolder the posts?

I was hoping somebody here could get it.

Thanks for the reminder. I don't have any original rosettes with this helmet, so I can go either way, but prefer convex, which I'll search for first. No rush.

Hi All, Looking for a set of scales for my Bavarian helmet, officer type (not for side-posts). I'd prefer convex for a Field Artillery officer (no markings in the helmet) If you have the rosettes as well, I need those too. Asking here, looking on eBay, etc. If you know of some originals for...

I bought the Bavarian Reserve Officer 'parts' helmet. I finished re-attaching the visor, now I have to make a good measurement and try to find a set of chin scales. The nice (?) thing is, I don't know what unit this officer was from so I could go flat scales (ex: infantry) or convex (ex: Feild...

Agreed. Just bought a nice helmet from them as well. :)

Kenny, GOOD EYE! I think you mean the thread going over the very tip of the neck guard. On the left side, it does that, but on the right, it goes slightly under. I thought it was odd too, but didn't drill a new hole or anything. Also, I was impressed with how the holes lined up as I sewed, very...

Nice helmet! I Didn't see it and don't have one to share, so Thanks All! I like that A o K leaves the purchase prices up so we can at least see what we missed and for how much. Always good to know.

Visor is stitched, now on to the spike base, which has some small kinks to remove. There's a name inside that looks like 'Gustav' somebody? I'll try to figure it out, maybe find out who he was and what kind of unit (so I can get the proper chin scales).

After getting rid of old threads, I finished tapping the holes on the helmet itself. As suggested, got the 'tools of the trade' and had no problem attaching one side of the visor today. Other side tomorrow.

Ich sollte erwähnen, dass Wisconsin USA u. Besucher von Gütersloh NRW sehr oft. I should mention, From Wisconsin, USA and we visit Gutersloh NRW quite often. We have friends in GT 'our second home'. :)

Welcome Hayden! I was glad to read that you are 'researching' the subject. Too many don't do that and get stuck with a fake Pickelhaube. If you have questions, this is the place to be.

Willkommen!

Super!

Some of mine. All are as purchased, so some replacement (repro) straps and cockades:

Clovis: NICE photos! I hadn't seen quite a few of them.
