It is great pleasure to join and write a few words on this wonderful site. I have been collecting for over 30 years, mostly German dress daggers,decorations, and a vast collection of ww1 and 2 gas masks,nearly 60 in all. But a few years ago,I got divorced, and most of my collection was sold at Dukes, as i needed the money ! I did keep a few bits as I couldnt bare to sell tho. The collector in me will never die, as my very understanding gorgeous wife now of 3 years has found out ! I have always had an interest in Pickelhaubes but never owned or knew much about them, but am lucky now to have three now. Here we go. First is a Prussian NCO,s Pickelhaube, size 58, with a sticker inside that reads Unteroffizer Franz Ronn, 11th Company,Reg 114. I Would love to try and trace this owner up if anyone can help with any ideas please ? Second a Prussian Ersatz, felt, This has a small ordinance depot stitch repair,but would be interested to lean if the repair would have to be sent back to the factory to complete this ? Lastly a Prussian Guard Pickelhaube, a nice stamp of 1915 and K.B.A G size 54. Its so good to view other peoples collections,large and small. and the vast Knowledge of many of the kind members on here. Wishing everyone all the best. Mark
