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

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...

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

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...

:???: 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...

Hello Folks - Well, I swore I would only have one pickelhaube in the collection, but now there are three. The third is a Jäger zu Pferde that I am restoring. When I obtained it it had a nice shell with 99%interior paint and no finish on the outside. Complete intact wappen and the liner band...

And yes, I should probably be embarrassed to say that I purchased it. However, the price was not exhorbitant and I have a Great Shell Lamp to go with it. The wife hasn't seen it yet (hasn't arrive) but I'm sure she will have a Commentary... I'd guess the shade is supposed to look like a...

Well, nothing earthshaking here, but some before and after photos of the stahlblech I picked up. Did a light cleaning with Howard's Wax, then removed the wax with mineral spirits. Certainly a lot more paint is shown, though it is quite darkened. Removed the wappen, as I was afraid there my...

Hello Folks - Picked this up as an 'out of the clost' find about a ayear ago at a small local shop (not ebay!). It was not labeled correctly, but only as a German Helmet. I was a bit puzzled at first, but after close inspection it is a traditional Austrian M17, in quite nice shape but missing...

Hello Folks - It's been quite a while since I posted..., mainly because I only have 1 Pickelhaube. Used for display with my Great War German Collection. It will never be a Pickelhaube of the First Degree, but it looks good next to a Gew.98 and Sg.98/05. :) However, I finally 'completed' it (a...

Hello Folks - (also posted in Latest Finds) I've had this in storage for quite a while and a thread in another (Gunboards) forum lled me back here. My apologies for the quality of the photo. It was a quick shot. But, as you can see there it is! Has some definite issues. Missing the lion to...

Snapped this photo of my in-process helmet, as it was sitting in front of a photo I picked up at an antique store a few years ago. They had it labeled as a Band picture. http://www.frontiernet.net/~masullivan/Pickle-Picture.jpg Photo is of: Eskadron 4 Kgl. Bayerisches 1st. Ulanen-Regiment -...

I was wondering (as I attempt to put together an example of an M15 enlisted pickelhaube), given the timeframe and the abandonment of brass for reasons of salvage and 'safety' on the front lines, were cockades worn on the M15 helmets? Or was it determined by their use, in the trenches vs...

Hello All - Could anyone advise as to how to tell the difference between a wartime (steel - grey) Prussian (or other state) helmet plate and the Tschako plate? Or were they interchangeable? Thanks! - Mike :?

First, apologies for the quality of these photos. My lovely wife was kind enough to snap these for me, so I can't complain (too much :-) From what I've seen of other pcikelhaubes on the forum, this is definitely not an award winning pickelhaube, but I think it can become a nice representative...

Hello Folks - First post, but a long time collector of Great War materials. For some reason I never picked up a pickelhaube. Always stuck with the steel lids. However, broke the trend and finally acquired a 'partial' that I would like to restore and display with the collection. My knowledge...
