I really need to move to Belgium now... Come to think of it, I have Belgian cousins (on their mom's side) who live in Eupen, right across from the German & Dutch borders!

Back to Spiker's collection:
Any chance we could see some more of your M15 Guard haube (sides and inside for example)?

 

[Spiker]

My mom has great stories of Canadian soldiers who logged in her parents’ house during WWII
Anyway, at Ronny’s request,
This is an inside view of the Guard Infantry M15 , it is a size 60 by the way.

 

[RON]

This is one nice LARGE helmet!
Thanks again for sharing these nice photos with us :thumb up:

WOW, do you want to make us envious??
Do you maybe have a pict of the backside of the Wappen? Does it have the "FUERST" bandeau and the blank chest too? (without FR or Reserve Cross).
