Hello Gents After 6 years of ownership, I am now selling the helmet in this thread and thought some of you may appreciate a heads up? Link: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5532360#post5532360" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Hope it's ok to post this...

Hello Diego... Can I politely suggest you post your 1870 cross on a few other more 'medal specific' forums (WAF/GMIC) for comment. I'm afraid your cross is not a genuine period example, and the ribbon is almost certainly not authentic either. For example...

Awesome Roy! Congratulations. A fine addition to any collection. Marshall

A kinder Saxon guard Reiter? :eek: Congratulations Paul - I'm learning more every day here - a Kinder Kurraiser helm I am vaguely familiar with - the Kinder Cuirass is a first for me. Thankyou - this is a wonderful collection superbly modelled by young Eric! He's a lucky wee man - and so are...

Hi Tony I'm guessing of course, but took my cue from these two references I found online... 1) A description in a previous Kube auction.. http://www.kube-auktionen.de/auktionen/107/sites/helme.php (see Los Nr: 117) 2) This mark on an imperial german blade (which I know equally little about...

Thanks a bunch for the info and comments gents - much appreciated!! regards Marshall

Not stinging too bad I hope Tony... you know she isn't really asleep next to me drunk and neked!! :sad1: Thanks a bunch for this info - like I said, I truly appreciated your help and I'm pleased as hell with this new guy! Now, ..... how to get it looking like yours!!? Marshall

I'd be guessing (correctly I think) that this is the maker mark for 'Damaschke'.... Yeah?/No? Thanks in advance for your help - sorry to appear such a virgin in this very grown -up playground but hey.. you gotta start somewhere!... 8-) Cheers Marshall (Biro)

But there is also a '75' .... one on the helme underneath the wappen, and one each on the underside of each section of the rear lobster tail.. Some sort of shell no.??

The '58' I know to be the helmet size

Under the same plate, there is also a '22'.. Huh??

Next, the marking under the base plate for the parade eagle... 'GKR 1906 2E'. As I understand it, the 2E is a unit mark for Regt 2 Eskadron... But why thye 1906??

Ok... so here they are.. 1st, the 'GKR 1915' under the kokarde.. Why 1915 ??

Hello Gents It's nice to finally be a member here - I have browsed this site as a guest MANY times, and see a few familiar names from various other medal related forums...but I've never had a reason to become... 'active'. But now I do.. I am essentially a medal collector, but every now &...
