It's been a while since I've visited this forum . . . hope you have all been doing well! I'm offering for sale a cap I bought from Tony last June. It's wonderful, but I need to raise some funds for another purchase. It's a Krätzchen for Ulanen-Regt. König Wilhelm I (2. Württembergisches) Nr.20...

Just in today . . . a tunic from Eisenbahn Regiment 3. Overall, it's in great shape, the only issue being a little fraying around the bottom of the skirt.

I've been looking for one like this for a while . . . Saxon M1895 EM artillery Haube. I believe it must have been a private purchase helmet; the leather, though worn, is in outstanding condition. It has no marks to it on the inside, except for the owner's name, which was written into the rear...

This is one of those not-a-stunner-but-one-I-really-like kind of helmet. Some of you probably saw it on ebay. Neat story behind it: the seller lives only 20 minutes from me, so I went and picked it up from him. Turns out he's a retired physician who happens to know my father (also a physician)...

I'm pretty excited with this one: An M 1915 A Saxon Jaeger tschako marked to the Jaeger Btln 13. The Wappen is the correct small size, appx. 82 mm across (I should add that the flash in the photo is exaggerating the discoloration a bit). It's obviously missing the haarbusch, the liner string...

Well, the gang at the SOS saw this pair . . . A 9th Jaeger Btln Tschako and a matching waffenrock. The waffenrock was displayed at the front of the hall, right as you walk in, the Tschako seemed to appear later in the day at the table of a pickelhaubes.com member--Jerry. The Tschako itself is...

Several months ago, my father gave me a Reservist bier stein from the 1 Wuerttemberg Dragoons, No. 25, Koenigin Olga, based in Ludwigsburg. He was stationed in Ludwigsburg during the early 1950s. So, I post pictures of the stein on the wehrmact awards site, and Tony (who else?) shows a picture...

Got this off ebay, and I have the funny feeling that this one didn't begin its life as a schirmmuetze, given its shape, the width of the band, and especially the lining without the ersatz or leather headband. The visor is quite stiff What do you all think? The lining has 2 stamps, a size 56...

If anyone has a Saxon infantry officer tunic (pre-war blue) to sell, or knows where I can find one, please let me know. I'm looking for regiments 102-107, 177-79, or 181-82. Also . . . I'm looking for a pre-war Baden enlisted man's artillery tunic. I know . . . there are tons of them our...

Opinions on this one? 6240060830 Take a close look at the inside view of the helmet, where the cross plate is attached. Were new holes drilled? Or is it ok? Also, take a gander at the matching tunic: 6240096577 What's with the shoulder straps? Oh, and by the way, a very happy New Year to...

Picked this up over the weekend. Nothing special, but I like it. An early Hessen Schirmmuetze. Very low profile, Hessen kokard only, with short, wide visor. The lining is well worn, purplish with a worn-out makers mark and logo. There's a stamp, but I can't make it out . .. perhaps it reads "5...

Quick question: About what year did Saxon shoulder boards go from being squared off to having pointed ends like other Imperial shoulder boards? Are there any squared-off feldgrau Saxon shoulder boards? David

I saw this on Canada.com today, and wanted to make sure that the Forum's Canadians saw it. God rest his soul! http://www.canada.com/topics/news/story.html?id=52161ab2-05f2-4705-8908-e62f9bb696a0&k=82598

My first Haube, one that most of you probably saw on Peter Whamond's website. I watched it for a while, and when the price dropped, I went for it. M1915 Saxon, missing chinstrap and kokards, but the condition is very good. What's especially interesting to me is the issue stamp. It is faded...

Greetings: I'm newly registered on the Forum. I've been following your discussions and admiring your jaw-dropping helmets for a while, though. I have a question and would appreciate your opinions. I've been offered a haube ID'd to a Scheinwerfer battalion. I'll try to post the picture here and...
