I'm surprised nobody has bid on this one yet. To me, it looks like a nice restoration project. I may be wrong, but if I were looking for a Bavarian NCO Pickelhaube at a reasonable price, I'd be on it...

Ended for around $1700. Well, yes, as John said, this is a 'thrift store' auction site. All of the items are donated and people bid on them. Now, here's the thing with this helmet. This is the THIRD auction it was offered in. It sold before fore something like $300 and $250 (I really can't...

Was looking at this from time to time. It sold twice already and was returned to be put up for auction again. Am I missing something on this bid price? (I don't think so!). I was never interested in it, but I'm going to watch the outcome now! https://shopgoodwill.com/item/236727122

I used to like Manion's but they're gone now. They didn't charge the bidder a commission, only the seller. I won't patronize action houses that add a commission cost to my winning bid, along with postage and other fees, such as handling'. Ron

Fabulous!

I can't be brand specific. ;) Remember, though this is NOT a polish and, as always, try which brand works best for you. It might be that the non-shining surface isn't something you like.

Hi All, I don't use brass polish on my helmets, but wanted to remove some tarnish without creating a lot of shine. Looking on line for 'natural brass cleaners', they mentioned vinegar and baking soda, but one that intrigued me was 'Ketchup'. So, I took an old .50 caliber casing and applied some...

I love the quote from Nick Parks' 'Chicken Run'. The U.S. 'Rhode Island Red' says he's from 'the land of the free and home of the brave!' and one of the chickens exclaims, "SCOTLAND!" Yup, agreed.

Welcome! My wife and I really enjoyed visiting Edinburgh! You live in a beautiful city, in a wonderful country. Ron

PM sent.

Hi all, Doing this for a fellow in my state who's selling this one. Bavarian reserve officer. To me, it looks like the rosettes are an earlier type (with the screw centers), that had the screws replaced with 'wing' fasteners for paper files. Anyway, here's the rub. He lives in Wisconsin, north...

That's a nice one!

I can only state why I, PERSONALLY, would not want it. The finish is very bad and it looks as if it has been soaked in water, or poorly kept at some stage (I always think of kids playing with it). The deformation around the top of the 'dome' is enough to put me off and seek a better helmet. For...

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

It only took two bidders to raise the price of a Stuart tank from $15K to $100K. But, I don't think that will be the case here... We'll see.

Indeed. A pretty badly mangled replica turned fake. In regards to the US Army artillery buck private's uniform he's posing with, I can't help but wonder why a discharged buck private is carrying a sidearm? It's also sad that the fellow had three years (Good Conduct Medal) with no rank...

I saw that too. The seller probably heard that ALL Pickelhaube were leather. It looks like a nice example. Personally, I'd rather have a seller list and original as a repro, than a repro as and original. ;)

Another nice one James!

Nice helmet, easy repair, GREAT price! If I didn't already have a few, I'd be messaging you.
