Thank you James. Will be checking them out!

Appears to be Private Purchase, but who knows! https://www.ebay.com/itm/254946987911

...and I will follow on with this one(?) https://www.ebay.com/itm/254946987911

Hi John! Thank you very much for your research. The one in your last post certainly has a similar kokarde and correct color. I also found this one, which is still a somewhat different style but with single kokarde. http://www.kaisersbunker.com/dunkelblau/headgear/dbch22.htm I am tending to...

Did find this..., https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/159797-imperial-german-officers-schirmmtze The color and piping seem to match up. Top photos show the actual piping color. The author states that the Fireman's cap did not have piping on the bottom(?). Still doesn't explain the...

Thank you John. It may at least be a start. Shows quite a bit of wear. The fellow I received it from had another cap that was different. It had the typical Prussian Kokarde. They came from the same household, so I suppose it is possible they were switched at some time in the last 100 or so...

Unfortunately I can't find my good photo-card, but these give a bit more of a presentation of what the cap should look like. The cockade has a red felt center and a silver/white outer, the the black fabric. The maker mark is: Heinrich Ehrich MutzenFabrikant FORTH b/ Nurnberg Thanks for...

Hello Folks - Been quite a while since I ventured down the German Headgear Lane, but picked this up on eBay and wondered if anyone had any info on it? Yes, I know... I should know what I'm buying beforehand, but it looked like something. :???: Well anyhow, any thoughts appreciated! Best...

:-? Been a long time, but I found this 'gem' and have not a clue as to its origin or history. Figured with all of the expertise that exists on the p-haubes.com forum there might be a chance someone would recognize it. I believe the 'top knot' and star may be later additions. Note theIMHO...

There was an Artillery Version of the Kar.88 that did accept a bayonet. Can't recall if it was a modification (I think so IIRC) of the Standard Kar.88 or a new made firearm. They are quite scarce. Best Regards! - Mike

Thought this might be of interest. It is an Sg98 Functional, Dress Bayonet Regimentally marked to the 5th Company of the Königlich Bayerisches Infanterie-Leib-Regiment, Weapon No. 53. Thanks for looking! - Mike

Thanks Guys - Best as I can tell, the kokarden look to be in 'original' slots, though the lower one has one of the pins broken off inside. Should mention, the center on the lower kokarde is dark blue, not black. Best regards! - Mike

... and I forgot to post the finished product!! Thanks for looking! - Mike

Hello Folks - Been a while, but it's always a pleasure to know there is a place to go for answers. I usually stick with stahlhems and a couple of pickelhaubes, but this cloth feldmutze (I believe that is the correct name?) came along and I figured it would be nice to round out the collection...

Hi Ron - Thank you. Yes, it is a very nice eagle, however I'll have to defer to the more knowledgeable on exactly what type. I'm pretty much a pickelhaube novice when it comes to the details, with two other helmets and a Jaeger zu pferde that I hope to start restoring soon. I think this will...

:???: Well, maybe it is..., but anyway finally had time to work on this beasty. Sewed the front and rear visors back on, cleaned everything up and, yes, polished it. Figure that's how it would have looked after being desecrated. Waiting for some scales to arrive and then figure out what to do...

Hi Brian - Thank you very much. Yes, if not too much trouble I would appreciate receiving the name of the individual who could perform the liner work. I was afraid that the liner would be different. However, I also have a stahlblech with the felt(?) liner band and 'hopefully' the liner will...

Nice knife with a repainted grip. Fair price.

One more question. Any thoughts on the price for an original steel wartime Bavarian wappen?
