It has come to my attention that someone has been spreading the rumor that I am a Pickelhaube collector, I want to assure you all that I am not. I do have a few pointy hats in the collection, but that is because I collect WWI crap, and the pointy helmets fit under that criterion. I have acquired a few nice helmets in the past year, a couple were gifts and others required that I sell my last kidney and most of my liver (It is all good, in the US dialysis is free to all who need it)
The latest is another Filzhelm, I have been rather fond of that type of helmet since I saw the first one in the Imperial War Museum in 1972.
