My pleasure, just trying to help. I feel the same about the lack of markings if you take your 56 years and add my 50 to it that says a lot. Germans at the time marked just about everything specially weapons. I actually dug out the reference book to add a bit more specific information for you...

I can't believe this one hasn't sold yet. :oops:

That one's not going to go cheap it has over 100 people watching it and you have to think there are more than a few people looking who actually know what it is. ;)(y)

I don't claim to be an expert, but I've seen at least five of these over the years and all had factory stamps. Also, everyone single one had a date stamp, as well as the ruling monarchs initial stamped at the base of the tip of the lance point just like 99.9% of all weapons when issued. I've...

Great move Dane a good place to start. (y) You really can't go wrong with studying thousands of pictures of Original Items. I would also really recommend our fellow member Johan Sommers wonderful books all of them. Congratulations the series of the Baldwin collection are already going up in...

Beautiful helmet that Wappen is just a stunner the condition is incredible. (y)

Congratulations Steve (y)

The chipping does give the look of two layers of paint but one look at the Original AK 66 stamping in the neck guard tells the story. IMO period painted shell, no doubt. (y)

Nothing like a good old Bambus to get started in the morning(y)

That was a true beauty :love:

I see that as well as the Prussian Standard with the X behind the Cross. (y)(y) Just incredible, enough to bring a tear to my eye. :cry:

Since I've had no reply to the request of additional markings on the lance, I'm assuming there are none. As mentioned, it should be one piece I wouldn't touch it or the Pennant after a closer look at the sewn holes for attachment. Coolest thing is how someone made the wrist strap, that is...

Some went all in with all the options truly top of the line, Congratulations they are really beautiful.

I like it congratulations. (y)

I think you may have something there, looks like someone made the strap out of a gun sling, that is really well done. Are there any other markings on the lance?

Incredible collection (y)(y)(y)

Congratulations looks interesting.(y) I love that Museum and always look for a reason to head in that direction when in Germany and if I can get close enough, I can usually talk the wife into letting me have another half of a day to enjoy that superb collection. ;)

Nice basement and collection looks like you have the collecting bug really bad you should fit in just fine. (y) You're all over the place and I love it :love:

That would be this guy Peter Jackson, if you havent seen it check out his collection on ytube(y)

I think that's a great idea politics and religion have no place on a forum related to Pickelhaubes. We should all focus on the things that bring us together not the things that have the potential of tearing us apart.
