Congratulations Matt, on acquiring this beautiful and very hard to find M15 Wurttemberg Helmet! Best Wishes, Alan

I am not picking on Steve here for saying this, because what he said is true. A rare $450 helmet back in the 1970's that is now valued at $7,000. $450 was a lot of money back in the 1970's to most people. Here is a part of the understanding of how this happened: In 1965 the United States made...

Congratulations on this fantastic find, Bruno! Super!

Congratulations Ron, on a fine restoration job! Best Wishes, Alan

Hi James, Congratulations on this great looking, rare helmet! (y):love: First time that I have seen one of these in Kugelhelm configuration. It looks great with your other two cloth covered helmets! The large size of it is quite amazing to see next to the other two helmets! Best Wishes, Alan

Hi John, I'd try posting this on WAF Imperial Medals & Badges section. There are members there who will be able to tell you about these post-war veteran medals, the ribbons, and most likely someone there will chime in about whether or not this unit was qualified for the Flanders cross or not...

Thanks for sharing this Rob. I'm not surprised this happened to you, that they missed having you sign to receive the package, and they simply dumped it off in your mailbox. I've had the postal service miss scanning a package delivery to me, several times over the years. Best Wishes, Alan

I would like to call to attention that when shipping Internationally from the United States, many countries, including European countries, have very low level of value that can be insured on a package. I am guessing that some here may not realize this fact. From my extensive shipping experience...

Very nice looking helmets, congratulations! Best Wishes, Alan

I do similarly, Rob. My customers in Canada and Europe have usually not had to pay any tariff when receiving anything they have purchased from me in the past. And if they have ever had to pay, it is because my customer wanted a higher partial value declared on the customs paperwork for their...

Hello JustinG, I have re-read your nice comments above here, and I have several questions for you. I too, notice that the postal shipping cost has gone up, which is nothing new. I recently mailed a small 4" x 6" bubble pack envelope and the mailing cost has increased 32% from pre-July 2025...

Thanks! Yes, it baffled me too! Best Wishes, Alan

Great find, congratulations! B.A. II was headquartered in Stettin, in the province of Pommern & Posen in 1914. Grenadier Regiment 2 was stationed in Stettin in 1914. Best Wishes, Alan

Congratulations!

Here's a link to the original posting I did on the forum about the JzP officer helmet when I acquired it. There are several photo views of the helmet, for anyone who is curious about it. The link is found here...

Yes, you were a customer, since I had an item posted on another forum and you found it, thank you! Best Wishes, Alan

Yes, it is too bad. I was simply stunned that the dealer was asking such a high price for it. It wasn't unusual, just a typical police officer helmet with a device on the police eagle wappen that I wasn't familiar with as to which city or state it was from. I was stunned that the dealer sold it...

Hi Coert, Thanks for asking about the M95 Saxon. I still have it. It's "B.A. XIX 12" issue marked to the 107th Regiment, 3rd Battalion. 1912 dated, and maker marked. Size "53". It's a beauty, from my collection, but I will sell it for the right price. No one was interested in buying Imperial...

Thanks very much! I can see this now that I look at the photo. Best Wishes, Alan
