Hello! I have been a collector for about 5 years now, I am 21 and collect from the First World War, my collection consists of all countries but lately I’ve been primarily collecting Imperial German. I’ve only one Pickelhaube at the moment, a Prussian M15 marked to the 30th Pionier Regiment. I have a couple of stahlhelms as well but I would like to continue collecting more Pickelhaubes and Shakos as well. Thank you for welcoming me into the community!

Great collection and a very nice display! Nice to see a younger collector. Welcome! :bravo:
 
Hot damn! That is a sweet collection for 21 years on the planet! All I had at 21 was a WW1 CEF bayonet dated 1917 that my Mom bought for me when I was 16! I bought my first Prussian M15 haube when I was 35! :) You are in good company Michael...welcome! :thumb up:

Thank you very much for your kind words! I've been in the market for an M95 or perhaps a Shako for a while now but the market has been tough! Hopefully I'll have something new to display soon enough!

Welcome, great start. At 21 I had a full collection of military stuff and was being paid to wear it.
 
Michael...your posts remind all of us older guys of when and how we got started. My thanks for joining and your post, keep it up.
