Great photo Bob!!! That's my waffenrock!:) Thank you for sharing it with us!

John, I see a possible good shell and a possible good spike but better photos would be required. The liner is from a French helmet so someone attempted a fixer upper. I concur with your assessment. Too much for a fixer upper. John

Steve, I appreciate your candor. I don't mind any comments made regarding my posted helmets. I actually encourage it! This only applies to me so I would ask forum members to ask the seller how they feel but I have no issue with any observations negative or positive. In the end it's up to...

Hello All, I am offering up this interesting tschapka. The reason this helmet caught my eye was the strange zip-zag pattern on the inside inner shell of the helmet. I don't know what material this is but it almost seems like a pressed paper or thin wood. I don't believe this was bond helmet as...

Thank you very much for the kind words gentlemen! Shout out to Tony for making me up my game on picture taking and framing!!! Bruno: It is an unmarked example. I did not add the photo of the interior (Whoops) but it is a squared tongue leather liner which would be correct for a Private Purchase...

Whoa Steve!!!! I would have never believed it existed had you not shown us! Thank you! I thought it was just a fairy tale! You hit the jackpot with that helmet! John

Hello Everyone, It's been a while since my last grouping so here is another interesting one! It's a pre-1914 Waffenrock as you can see there is a Number 9 on the epaulettes instead of a monogram which was awarded in 1914. Enjoy!

Um, this was not meant as bullet or splinter resistant armor. This a very rare pre war prototype submitted to the Prussian Army by the English Edward Brevan Company for soldiers on the Eastern front during the morning or Western Front soldiers during sunset. Not readily visible are the strings...
