I haven't been on this forum since before I joined the Army in 2009, haubes and history of the German Army were a big part of my life before I joined. Since I've gotten out I haven't thought or looked at my collection until the first time a few days ago, I've been collecting original Oberndorf Mausers and I think that's where my heart is now. Haubes used to give me butterflies in my stomach and I'd research them all day long, but that doesn't hold true anymore, maybe it's a physiological issues that reminds me of the Army lol. But in saying that, I'd like some of my collection to go to a proper custodian and honor this pieces like they deserve. I will be keeping my German Napoleonic pieces, but will be listing the following:
Mod 1860 Baden Landwehr shako
Bavarian felt haube
Two Prussian 1915 mod haubes
But in saying that I haven't researched or remembered anything about these guys in awhile so I forget what is what and I was wondering if you gentlemen could lend me a hand in vetting and pricing these guys and how to best go about that.
I will say it's nice to be back posting and looking through the forum, it brings back allot of good memories and feelings of being young again.
Thank you!
