Parts Pickels and Pieces Wanted

[Pickle(hauben)Enjoyer]

Hello there,

I'm looking for military/army Pickels (1890s to 1915) with a decent finish that hasn't flaked off/torn (e.g. Prussian EMs, Ersatz Pickels, Infantry officer Hauben,etc.) in need of restoration to hopefully jumpstart my collection.

I'm mainly looking for low- to mid-range Hauben, budget is €1000, though I’d be willing to spend more if you’re offering something special.

I'm mainly in the market for 'complete' or nearly finished packages where the path I have to follow is rather clear and doesn't involve too much guesswork or sourcing.
As for preferred states or branches, etc., nothing too specific (all states), though my favourite is Saxony.

I'm also looking for plain shells/Korpuses, though I'd have to see some indication that they were military-used ones.

Quite frankly, if you offer me any ok-ish Haube and I think the price is right, I'll more than likely buy it - I'm not much of a connoisseur and haven't yet found my niche.

I don't want to waste your time, so feel free to just write a brief list or send pictures of the Hauben you're looking to get rid of, and I'll enquire further if any pique my interest

Shipping would be to the EU (specifically Germany; however Willing to pay for postage from the US). Method of payment to be chosen by seller.

Cheers,
Max

Hello there,

hoping to find parts Pickelhauben to restore - I'm buying almost any I can get my hands on to hopefully jumpstart my collection.
Please beware I'm only looking for military/police pieces - so no fire service ones, etc..
Also looking for Kokarden, Wappen, spikes, etc..

I can certainly see how my original post was too vague - thanks for your patience and bothering to reply.

I'm mainly looking for regular Pickels (1890s to 1915) (e.g. EM Hauben, Ersatz helmets and infantry officer Hauben) with a decent finish that hasn't flaked off. I'm mainly looking for low- to mid-range Hauben, as I don't feel comfortable practising on and potentially damaging a piece of history.
I'm mainly in the market for 'complete' or nearly finished packages where the path I have to follow is rather clear and doesn't involve too much guesswork or sourcing.
As for preferred states or branches, etc., nothing too specific (all states), though my favourite is Saxony.

I'm also in the market for plain shells/Korpuses, though I'd have to see some indication that they were military-used ones. As for spikes and pieces, I'd prefer a more complete package for now, as I don't yet have a set of projects to work on.
I'm looking to spend under € 1,000, though I'd be willing to splash more cash if you've something special.

Quite frankly, if you offer me any ok-ish Haube and I think the price is right, I'll more than likely buy it - I'm not much of a connoisseur and haven't yet found my niche.

I don't want to waste your time, so feel free to just write a brief list of some of the Haubes you're looking to get rid of that broadly fit my description, and I'll enquire further if any pique my interest.

Thanks for your reply.
