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...

Coming over from the 'Latest Find' thread, the biggest challenge here will be sewing on the neck guard. Thankfully, I have very fine drill bits to clean the holes that are around 2mm apart. It will just take time and patience. I have yet to purchase fine needles and cotton thread for the sewing...

Since retiring, my funds are rather limited, but my free time is greatly expanded! This from Age of Kings, listed as a 'Bavarian Reserve Parts Officer's Helmet', it arrived today, ready to have the neck guard sewn on and other items added. Looking forward to fixing this one up. Here's the page...

Asked the question about chin scales a bit soon. Did a little searching, found most of it on my own. My only remaining question. Could an NCO or even a soldier below that grade from a unit that designates a leather chinstrap, purchase a nice helmet with scales for in garrison or parade? I know...

Ebay... Whoever it was that programmed whichever translator program to see Pickelhaube as 'Pimple Hood' has a LOT of explaining to do. (mine translates it as 'spiked helmet' and only Pickel (pimple) and Haube (hood) as single words. Oh well.

Not what I usually collect, but too interesting to let go for under $10. Solid brass, veteran's 'parade helmet' from the 1920's (??). The thing that interested me most was the other helmets I've seen like this have the chin straps riveted to the sides of the helmet above the flare. This is the...

This one interested me. As you can see, it's a brass 'doughboy' helmet. It hasn't arrived yet, but they said it's full size. Would this be for a veteran's organization, like the aluminum versions? I've never seen a brass one before. $10 so, what th' heck. Any insights?

Oddly lacking in markings, but looks original. Could be a good project helmet for somebody starting out. ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/115217928954?hash=item1ad38612fa:g:41wAAOSwEB5h7cAg

I hope nobody from here was hooked into this 'bargain'... https://www.ebay.com/itm/334234584317?hash=item4dd1ef04fd%3Ag%3AZSYAAOSwHv9hoorS&nma=true&si=PCngMnGVGXcrWB2LGnWd5%252Fe0q4U%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I went to a tractor and steam show today and searched the flea market for a WWII gas can bracket (you know, as on a Jeep). Didn't find any, but I did find this for $34. A bisected French fireman's (?) helmet. This is the 2nd old French helmet I found like this (the first was a Chausseur's...

Then, I opened the auction. Just too many cracks and such for me. I at first thought it was a galvano (sp?) plate, but looks to be repaired? I dunno. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324730167102?hash=item4b9b6d1f3e:g:xrQAAOSw5X1hAEkc

I've been selling off non-German steel helmets and uniform bits as well as model kits on ebay. While running a French M15 shell, somebody contacted me to ask if would be be selling German headgear. 'Maybe in the future, but not now.' I replied, 'Besides, ebay really messes with German helmets...

A fellow less than 30 miles from me is doing a lot of auctions with Pickelhaube and such. I had to ask him if this one was oiled or waxed inside. Maybe he'll invite me down to see them before the auctions end (?) Found out two things. He said the helmet was probably oiled inside by the owner...

Hi all, I found this one years ago at a thrift store and thought it was interesting, having a good cross section of US 'doughboy' steel and plastic children's play helmets. This one is paper maché that was pressed into a mold, then painted, lacquered and the decal applied. I've never seen...

Just in case you want to re-write history, or upgrade (?) from horses.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Prussian-Copper-Deluxe-German-Officer-Pickelhaube-Forrest-Airplane-Helmet/363091306045?hash=item5489eda63d:g:SS0AAOSw2RdfTI0Z :D Ron
