I attended the MAX this past weekend and found a Enlistedmans Prussian Pickelhaube with cover. Exellent shape, even wear and marked TrA as a unit mark. The guy I bought it from has had it for about 20 years. The cover does not have a cover for the spike which I thought was odd. :o Is it missing this piece or is it complete? The cover has small leather tabs sewn on where the chin strap goes through the helmet cover.

:eek: dg13
 
DG 13 -- why don't you give us your oppression of the show? It would be valuable to get your perspective.
 
I loved the show but being a WWI weapons collector I collect very little accessories. My emphasis is Austrian (and German). There were very few weapons of WWI so I'll probably not be back. But , will always make the SOS/NGD show in Feb. I live in FL so it was a long flight! I've attended the show in Monroville PA. Where else can you go to see a trophy given as a CORP Hunting trophy by Kaiser Wilhelm! :eek: The Sanders Brothers poses wonderful things!!!
