As I said, I am from Alaska.
My passion is for the Naval end of warfare. Previously, I collected mainly Kriegsmarine items and have achieved much of my goals with that. I am now moving on to imperial times (Kaiserliche Marine). A much more broad time line. The KM was 1935-1939. When war came, they dropped named units/ships and went for the standard "Kriegsmarine" tally, this wasn't the case in WW1 and prior. My main area is Mützenband. (Ships tally or cap bands) I have also an extensive collection of period Wappen from different ships, units, and such.
I have three Pickelhaube as of now,
and several wappenplates. I do hope to increase my collection as I gain more and more experience in this field. So I thought I would share some of the few trinkets in my collection with regard to my Pickelhaube items.
I really love my Order of the black eagle disc I really like how this example isn't convexed as in the other example. It makes it an almost copy of the Order of the Black Eagle. Something that I would love to get one day but they do fetch a considerable price. I would love to add other examples in the future. I also am looking for ideas from members who do have a Pickelhaube Wappen collection and how they chose to display their collection.
Thanks for
