    Where can I get a pickelhaube for under 300 dollars?

    I agree with Bobted, save up. I see prices slowing down, but not going down. If they do, it's a lucky thing. On the other hand, it only takes two or three with more money than brains... https://shopgoodwill.com/item/236727122

    Wanted; silver coloured Rosetten

    I have these, but was waiting to see if anybody else could help, because they're my only pair and I was a bit reluctant to part with them. But, considering I buy a new helmet now (with the prices) once every decade or ten, if this is what you're looking for drop a PM. Ron

    What am I missing here, repro plate? Too damaged?

    To me, this looks like a Prussian infantry officer helmet, Vulcan fiber body, with a lot of cracking and damage. I don't know if Vulcan fiber can be restored, but is there more wrong than I'm seeing? The seller sent me an offer for a percentage off, but I'm not interested in it, just watching...

    Super rare one of a kind Stickelhaulbe now on eBay don't miss your chance.

    Well, if the pointy thing fits, use it... The one with the 'parade bush', looks like it may have been a theater prop made from an otherwise nice original. :) Ron

    Am I seeing this one correctly?

    Maybe the split brad's 'arms' broke at one point, or the person doesn't want to risk breaking them by bending them outward. Most likely a lot of messing done with this one. Also, the spike is taller than the Bavarian officer helmets I have, but that doesn't mean a thing. Cheers!

    Am I seeing this one correctly?

    Yes, I agree. The spike certainly looks Bavarian. Ron, that's a good point about the star. Another reason to think it's a Bavarian / parts helmet. I had forgotten about that style of Bavarian spike.

    Am I seeing this one correctly?

    I see a wartime general's Pickelhaube. The 'lip' of the spike, where it's on the base should be rolled inward, this one is not, but wartime? A later manufactured type? The chinscale rosettes aren't curved, again, wartime? I'm not interested in the helmet, just wondering what others think...

    A Nice Project Bavarian NCO?

    If they're hoping for that, it would've happened with the first auction. James, maybe tell them your offer stands, should they so desire to accept it in the future. Or.... let them keep the helmet! ;) Ron

    Looking to get my first pickelhaube

    I think the members here have some nice ones for sale at reasonable prices. I'd look at the 'Pickelhaubes for Sale' pages and save up for a nice one. Ron
