I love rifles in good condition with their accompanying bayonets. Superb.

A shelf full of chell casings. That would make a nice display as well I think.

Some time ago I ordered a custom made puzzle as a gift. One where you can upload a family picture or something and they make a puzzle out of it. I thought it would maybe be fun as well to order one with some pieces of the collection so I can enjoy them in another way as well. So I took the...

Thank you both to confirm my hypothesis. The holes are a bit of a pity but no dealbreaker to me. Here another picture from the inside. Let's see if I can reach an agreement on the price.

Hey guys (and girls), I came across this older type which has two extra holes in the neck guard, on both sides of the spine. Any modiciatipn that could have happend here or just someone who hang the helmet on his wall this way at some point in time?

Very beautiful. That one leaves nothing to be desired. Great pick-up!

Great addition, thanks Philippe. Sergeant would make perfect sense. The name would indeed be relatively short since the first visible letter is longer (indicating the capital letter with which his name began) and the blank space left of it, but I guess 6 letters would still be possible. If I...

You have Eagle eyes Lars! The small part of the label at the top with the "t" (or "nt"?) Is a part of the rank then I assume, considering where it's placed. Or is there another option?

Look great Coert. That will take you some time. It looks like they indeed spent very much time in Flanders. Very interesting!

That's a very nice one Andy. Do you maybe have a picture of the insjde of the dome? I was taking some helmets out of the cabinet the other day and I also took another look at the one from IR75 and I noticed there has indeed been a label in it. Only fragments have remained, I can't really make...

Nice cap in apparantly great condition. Always nice to see young guys taking an interest in history and collecting the object that witnessed it. Keep going. :cool:

I really like the Filz helmets with the messing on the front visor and the rear spine. There was a real nice one like this (from Bayern) on auction a couple of months ago but I was outbid unfortunately. Thanks for posting this nice Ersatz!

They would sure make a nice pair! But I'm saving up funds for another purchase later this year and I have to keep an eye out for my wife as well. 🫣

I really like the look of these simple M15 helmets. They just look bad-ass. Of my eyes aren't fooling me I think we can see where the Überzug was attached as well. Nice head with a great moustache by the way.

Now that seems to be quite a tall spike:oops:

Another very nice display! I especially like the Saxon Stahlblech helmet and the cloth covered cork one. (y) Thanks for sharing it with us. I've been thinking, especially since the impressive collection Doug showed us this week, about people describing their collection as small or modest...

Yeah, those do not make it worth I'm afraid. This topic can be closed by the way. It's sold to a fellow Belgian.

My oh my. Several members mentioned the dislocation of their jaw and that says it all. And to think that besides this fabulous collection (and only built in just 4 years!) there's a paleontology exhibit as well. 🤯

Wow, those are both amazing helmets. Apparantly formerly owned by Prussian nobility. I'm very curious if someone here can come up with more information about these officers!

Do you maybe have a picture of the inside of the helmet were the Wappen is connected to the shell?
