This thing just keeps on fighting me! 😐 I tried to start the rear visor stitch yesterday. I began naturally with the "unbroken" corner but yet again "snap" and that corner broke as well. This visor has the consistency of a saltine cracker!! :mad: In 40+ years of doing this, I have never had...

Rob: What you have paid me wouldn't even settle my "luxury cruise " bar tab. Lastly, if you are upset about the time it has taken to complete your Meck helmet, I would remind you and anyone else that it took 100+ years to get that way and to expect a "quick fix" is ridiculous. If you want it...

This helmet has proven to be a bit of a "Problem Chile" with some surprises! 😐 I finished the front visor on Saturday and started pining the rear visor when snap, the right corner broke. I have pinned a hundred of these by now and never had a problem. However, we are dealing with 120 year old...

Sounds like you have had a good life Steve.....the Whiskey in the 1960's! Wow! :)

A beautiful set! Wow!

Lots of unique features which I have never seen before....very interesting! Thanks for showing us this piece. :) 👍

Great work Steve! Very nice to see the helmet restored to its original condition! I am just glad that I was able to help out with some spare parts.

Yes too much hand shaking with friends and of course strangers when a sale is completed. I let my guard down and got this result. I have often come down with a cold after the SOS unfortunately, but not like this. I usually blame James by the way. 😄😄

Thanks Steve! :) I remember that song as well!

Very nice Steve and in excellent condition! My JR 93 helmet came with a Prussian M95 wappen on it but is clearly marked. Those helmets with the silver stars and heraldic shields on their eagle wappen are very cool to have in any collection. 👍

Progress on this project has been slow. I caught some sort of cold at the SOS end of February and I have been fighting off cough and fever ever since. Last week, I was diagnosed with "walking pneumonia" which explains what has been going on. Anyway, after some "super antibiotics" I am beginning...

Some real horror stories here! Fortunately, I have only bought one item from Europe/France an Anhalt M95 OR wappen. This arrived safely but initially, there was a problem with the auction company as they wanted payment in the "European Way" by bank transfer. This is very costly and complicated...

Excellent, love it! Thanks very much Steve 👍

Steve: That is one fine helmet! Are there Regt. Markings to add icing on the cake? You know how I love matching issue stamps on OR helmets.

It's always nice to get a bit of a deal on one of our helmets. That is a very nice piece, congratulations!

Lots of potential with this piece! Anyone looking for visors,.....I have a few that I will sell.

There is certainly a helmet there which can be restored but the wappen which is the most valuable part of this ensemble has some obvious issues! It will be interesting to see how this ends.

Hmm.....might that be heading to New Orleans?? :D

Excellent collection, thanks for taking the time to post! 👍

John S. , my thanks for your recent donation! I is always great to see you at the SOS.
