Good Afternoon Everyone, My name is Steve Marciante. As I had mentioned to Mr. Loree as i just recently got obsessed with the picklehaube lo and behold a website forum dedicated to just that. Fantastic. I have always been interested in WW1 but on a recent trip to Bavaria last October i decided to read more on the subject. How i got to the picklehaubes was that i am planning on building a tribute to the Great War, in a large display case. Showing helmets, flags, weapons, equipment as well as model kits of aircraft ships and 120mm painted soldier figures of the major powers. Its a little ambitious but not too bad. So far i have a French and Russian Adrian helmet from what i have been able to gather so far is that the Russian may be from the 1st or 3rd division sent to fight on the western front. I would like to post a photo of them and possibly get some expert feedback. My next item to get is a picklehaube but after reading all about them i think i have to get a few of them. I have enjoyed reading the posts and the high level of expertise shown. Thank You ..Steve./Sten
