Ulan, Ulan, Ulan I am still practicing!!

By the way I love the helmet, I have no idea if it is all correct, but I love it!

This seller has 2 helmets on ebay. Check out the Oldenberg JR91. I am no expert on Tschapkas but the Bavarian looks quite nice to me. It will go for big bucks. FYI there will be a Garde Ulan EM tschapka model 1871 (bolt on scales) up for sale at the SOS. Silver fittings and brass convex scales. Brian

Best wishes

I am in love with this helmet. It is one of three dream helmets that I would like to aquire. I am planning on bidding on it unless someone feels it has problems or someone else wants to bid on it. I will not bid against a fellow Pick.com member.

What would be the high side of what it's worth? Just in case I do try and win it, I wouldn't want to pay more than its worth.

You all know I have a new fondness of Kabutos. :)
 
Man, This bloke has some goodies, I have the Mexican Officer's tunic on my watch list, and I do not collect officer's stuff.

Hi Paul:

I was planning to go for broke for this one.

Hey Paul,
Don't be a girly man, you roll over to quick, make Chas pay for it.
Ha ha

A Tsapka for the 2nd Bavarian Ulanen from Ansbach has been at the top of my list for some years. I used to serve beer in one of their former Kantines at the Kaserne in Ansbach.

I shall be hard-on this one.

Why? Paul, Chas, George, its an auction. Go for it. It is not a matter of "who sees it first claims it". The only concession I make, is if a friend and myself want the same item, we will share our max. If his max is higher than mine, then I will back off. So I would say to all of you, have fun and bid what you are comfortable with and I hope one of you gets it. It looks to be a beautiful example. George, would like to hear about your Germany service by e-mail some time, I assume in green? I was there 81 to 84 in Lahr.
 
I agree with Tony! My brother should bid the highest :D :D :D

Just kidding, good luck to all, just hope someone in our group gets it! I would bid myself, but have purchased quite a few helmets lately and I am trying to save up!

Probaly will have enough by SOS to buy whatever Brian is talking about??

Hi Tony:

I quite agree. Paul and I already discussed the issue of respective maximum bids last night. It is an auction and everyone is free to do his bidding.

The Tschapka jumped $1,000.00 overnight. What I can't understand is why people bid against themselves. It's a given someone will be the high bidder, but why ping pong for the glory of being temporary number one when there is no reserve? I learned this lesson the costly way early on and always place my bid within the last ten seconds of the auction.

I don't consider this sniping; just common sense. Why let some spoiler chip away at my maximum bid days before the auction closes?

Just ran across both of these helmets on this web site
http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/pickelhaube.htm
Does anyone know this guy? Bill
 
Now isn't that bizarre?

I know who the eBay seller is, but will never again drop his name here (given the fracas last time).

Keine Ahnung regarding the Digger. Nice plug for Joe, though.

Chas. :?:
 
You will also find many of my helmets cap and tunics on this web site without my permission. He refuses to answer e-mails or respond in any way, he just steals copywrited photos from the internet to build his own web site. Jerk. Ignore that web site completely.
