No, the ones that appeal to me, some I considered buying, There were more helmets, some dealers, for instance the one from patina does not want you to take picturesThanks for the photos
The photos that you did take , did you consider these helmets to be
the best ones offered at the show ?
Thanks

I agree with sander, for instance I liked the Hannover tschapka a lot with the correct white rabatte and NCO fangschnur, really beautiful condition with label of owner, but asking price € 5500.I was also at the fair yesterday and this time as a visitor and not as an exhibitor (after 17 years...).
I found the offer extremely sad and when something good was offered the prices were enormous.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to buy anything I liked.
Was about to ask how much was the hannover Tschapka.. yap expensive. But anything now is expensive though.I agree with sander, for instance I liked the Hannover tschapka a lot with the correct white rabatte and NCO fangschnur, really beautiful condition with label of owner, but asking price € 5500.
Same for the Bavarian general, correct helmet ( a la suite) but not in good condition, expensive
There was also a Prussia general named pickelhaube in good condition, for asking price 4500 € which is not very expensive ( I will look for the Photo later)
Of course there is a lot of shit, or items you just don’t care about, so it’s easy to be disappointed, but for me one or to nice items for my collection are just what I’m looking for, I do find nice items for a correct price at Ciney from time to time,I tried it long ago...
as exibitor and as visitor...only once (on different occasions!)...and...neighter worked for me...
Even the antiques fair on the same showground, same story.
And it was my buisiness, I did lots of shows, not only in Belgium.
Just Ciney , seemed doomed to me...
Amy, here is a somewhat more detailed picture of the hanoverian Tschapka, I like it, it has NCO parade plume and fangschnur, but enlisted cocarde en feldzeichen, but that can be authentic I thinkWas about to ask how much was the hannover Tschapka.. yap expensive. But anything now is expensive though.

the Bavarian (Chevauleger/Schwere Reiter? was another dealer ( called Gilbert), but was sold shortly after I made the photo.Thanks Michiel - indeed a beautiful piece. Who is the dealer? Looked like he had a lot of Imperial headgear.
I love the Bavarian (Chevauleger/Schwere Reiter?) too. Same guy?
Many US shows and dealers have suffered from the same massive price inflation in recent years.
This one I have owned since the first Max show in St. LouisWas about to ask how much was the hannover Tschapka.. yap expensive. But anything now is expensive though.
