Thanks Argonne for sharing the link to the other forum. I will definitely check it out.
I am German but for the last 20+ years I am living in the USA. So not sure what kind of collector that makes me;)
I do not really know Corneille, but I like what you posted.
Cheers
Andreas

Welcome to the forum Andreas,
One of the great features of this forum, apart from the extensive amount of knowledge available, is the tone of voice used. "Belligerent" language is rather uncommon, especially if someone is trying to give you advice.

Maybe you can show (a part of) your collection? I for one would be really interested in that :)

Lars,

three of my helmets have been recently posted. A Bavarian and a Baden reserve officer helmet and the Guards helmet of an enlisted man. Furthermore, there a several pictures of the Guards du Corps helmet I purchased the other week. I don't have any other pictures of it, as I haven't received it yet. And now you, show us some of your helmets. Can't wait to see them :)
 
Hi,
I think "belligerent" is not the right term at all ;) Sorry if I was too crude for some ears or eyes there 😧
It´s certainly the result of "rough" but however always fair discussions full of passion that I am habituated on the french forum. To be very critical is a part of the french spirit 🤗

Andreas,

Very strange, it works for me :unsure:

Some direct links, maybe? Just try them ;)

A seldom one with red numbers helmet cover

This one was my last 2018 found, and maybe my best in my small humble collection. It was worth it to drive more than 1000 miles from North Germany to pick it up in eastern France. Recently found where it has been lost, 10 September 1914 in Saint-Dié. It stood three generations in the family of...

White Württemberg PB13

Hi Gents, This is a recent found in a north german house. Quite uncommon to find a Württemberg helmet in this area...But the story of wearer will explain it all. The liner has a "well worn" appearance: Clearly marked PB13 and 1912 dated. Owner also wrote: Sergt. BRUHNS, 2/Pi.13...

M15 different hues of grey

Gents, As Ron suggested in a parallel post, it could be interesting to make an analysis of the chemical treatment of M15 fittings and compare the different hues of grey. I only have two M15, they are both saxon. One very dark with owner name in it of a guy (Moritz THIEME I) in the 6/RJR245...

RJR254 HELMET, WORN DURING THE SECOND MAZURIAN BATTLE

Hello Guys, This one helmet with Überzug is my favorite in my small helmets collection, probably the only one I would try to keep if I ever have to sell my collection. First, I have to thank Joe, who sold it to me at the beginning of 2017. It was not cheap, but it was worth it! So this topic is...

UR20 TSCHAPKA OF LEUTNANT ULRICH GRAF VON REISCHACH

Hello Gents, Normally, I do not like officer headgear so much...But there are some exceptions, when the wearer can be tracked :wink: Proudly present the Tschapka with its original Überzug, worn 1912-1918 by Leutnant Ulrich Graf von Reischach (1893-1972), 2. Eskadron Ulanen Regiment 20...

This one has seen the front line

Hi Gents, Found this for a couple of days \:D/ RJB8 Tschako with its original Überzug, battle damaged and both with matching regimental marks and same size (57). First JB8, then RJB8 with green painted "R" over the sewn green "8". But the best: identity of wearer (4/RJB8) is tracked and...

A NOT EASY TO CLASSIFY SPIKE HELMET....

Hello Gents, Found this last year. I am still searching for period picts of such a helmet in action to understand what it really is. I have only the pict that Robert posted on this forum a few years ago. Maybe it is a Versuchs-Helm, maybe a helmet worn in hot...

Very nice collection. I really liked the background information you found about the soldiers who actually wore these helmets.
