It seems these helmets have been scoring well with women since the day they came into fashion lol!

I agree with the previous statement! With all those photos cropped into odd proportions, there is no doubt that the seller is trying to hide something. Maybe he’s hoping that taking close ups of the grime around the rivets will be enough to convince someone that he’s selling the real deal 😂

Great catch, Sandy! Love the look of these older models

I don’t know much about WWI French militaria, so I can’t comment on the item’s authenticity, but I wouldn’t necessarily label this as a scam attempt. Horse Soldier, the vendor who sold this helmet, is probably one of the most reputable and knowledgeable dealers when it comes to US Civil War...

Your headgear collection is top-tier! This may be a stupid question, but have you ever stumbled upon a WWI Carabinieri bicorne for sale before? I recently saw some photos of Carabinieri troops in the field, and I was wondering if any of their hats found their way onto the market.

Rats! I’d to bid as well, I’ve been looking for some filzhelms to restore for a while but I guess I’ll have to keep waiting… Let us know if any of ya’ll win, (after finding someone to facilitate the sale of course) I doubt I’d be able to outbid anyone on this forum 😅

Is that supposed to be Saint George slaying the dragon? If so, it might be British related.

Hi Amy! Is this still available? I know someone who is in the market for a Prussian M15 like this. Edit: Nevermind! He said he's looking for something in better condition.

As a guy who loves making historically accurate hats, I really appreciate these “exploded” views. Maybe I’ll try to make my own reproduction some day using a page from this book lol!

I'm sorry to hear that, Dane. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it was to be told such a thing. As James said, we're all here to support you!

Glad you found the forum! I agree with Amy and Steve, it’s an original Prussian model 1895 enlisted pickelhaube.

That's unfortunate. Looks like we'll have to send someone on an expedition to Russia to bring us back a copy! 😂

This is cool! I've seen pages of this book floating around the internet, but I never knew what the book's title was.

Not just helmets! I’m pretty sure they were caught selling coffin back nazi party member pins in the past.

Yep, this is a snapshot from one of their newsletter emails. Funnily enough, I don't remember ever signing up for the newsletter as I can't afford about 90% of the items they offer 😂

Wishing all our US members and their families a happy Thanksgiving! Now here is a photo of some US soldiers enjoying a Thanksgiving meal at the end of WWI: Edit: Looks like I posted this in the wrong forum section lol!

Awesome! Happy Birthday!

That paint is outstanding!

I suggest you post this to the German Helmet Walhalla. Their primary focus is WWII German headgear, so I think they’ll be able to help. The only problem about that forum though is that you have to become a paying member in order to upload a collection of photos.

Lovely helmet! Looks expensive 😅
