Great yes, with the bush it looks great as a display, whilst the minor differences between an officers and an ncos Haube would probably only strike a trained eye. Thank you again for your opinion!

Hi, quoting you again, because I really value your opinion. i managed to get the seller down to 600€ for the Haube in its current state. In my opinion this would be quite a good deal if I am not mistaken. Despite the wrong emblem, which is fixable. What is your opinion?

Great thank you! The seller claims that one of the corners from the liner was used to strengthen the "shell"

He has this lot for sale, Haube with Case, seems to be in decent condition and two Kepis. For me this would make a decent start for my headwear collection, just the Haube throws me a little bit off, the emblem seems very shiny. Sadly the seller dies not provide better pictures, and has told me...

As far as i can tell, with the sources from kaisersbunker.com, the round chin scales would also be correct for any NCO and Officer helmets after 1914. I might just try to offer a low price to the seller, because as far as i can tell, its mostly the Wappen thats wrong on the haube. Because in my...

Thanks a lot for the reference picture, I'll compare as soon as I get on my PC!

Ye Seems like you are right there is quite a smear on the sowing of the visor. Could you specify what you mean with doubts? So I could check with Robert references

Great thank you! He served as an NCO with the 5th field artillery Regiment, I have an old picture showing him wearing the Haube with the Paradebusch, that's why this one caught my eye. So in your opinion there is nothing obviously wrong or off with the Haube? I might try to haggle the price...

I am currently looking for items with connections to the Bavarian Field artillery, as my great grandfather served with them. I found this Haube for sale which seems to be the exact model my great grandfather wears on some old family photos. Thing is, the seller asks for quite a lot of money and...
