:) Hi,Oradour here, i have just re/started collecting after a 30 yr break,(having dispensed with my collection to furnish my 1st house) my 1st pickelhaube, was a an m15 Prussian EM complete, but as i remember it was rather small and not in good overall condition, but hey i was 17, so starting again i had to obtained another m15 Prussian EM ! & i found one in St Louis, MO, (e-bay)won paid for & now over here in the U.K. nice to have one back, the shell & fittings are in great shape, but alas the liner togues are paper thin, very fragile, & its missing its spike, it is marked on rear visor 'Jnst.W
VII.A.K
Dusseldorf '
can anyone tell me is this....an Infantry rgt in 7th army corps, ?....
oh by the way an m95 is as i talk on its way from the fatherland, i'll post some photos when ive learnt how too !!! :oops:
 
Welcome Steve! Hard to tell without pictures. VII AK is probably VII Corps but the rest????? Interesting to note the letter J often substituted for I.
