I have had some inquiries about selling the cuirass. What is a realistic price for it? Thanks I doubt the manufacturer sold directly to the theater requisite house. The cuirass has "K. 1" and "FWR" Abnahme stamps, etc.

Thanks for the identification of the maker!

While not a Pickelhaube I thought this "Latest Find" (from the SOS) would be of interest. A Leib-Kürassier cuirass front plate with emblem, well marked on the wearer's left side with "K. 1., etc", "FWR etc" on the shoulder and "26" on the lower interior but also stamped on the right side as...

According to the regulations posted above the Unterzahlmeister does not have the eagle insignia. A photo included in the thread below shows an identical configuration in which you wrote "I interpreted the text exactly like Wojtek, but since Glenn's quote came from the „Armee-Verordnungsblatt“ I...

A nice Prussian Unterzahlmeister Pickelhaube, pre-1905, size marked 58.

As long as we're discussing Dutch helmets, here's my M41 Milsco KNIL example with a painted insignia and cloth neck guard. The cloth liner is of the same material (although different color) to one used in a para training helmet shown on the Dutch helmet site dutchhelmets.nl

Thanks for the link!

I just acquired this set of silver chinscales with brass rosettes. They measure about 55 cm. One side is separated. Is there an easy way to repair or should this be turned over to a specialist?

Here's a similar star but in grey shared by a colleague and also a Pickelhaube with a guard star on a line eagle marked to an Unteroffiziersschule.

Here's a example of the Reserve Garde star shared by a colleague.

Of course, this could be assembled by a collector or theater or as a war bond piece. My question is, where does the guard star in this size come from? Hussar?

This turned up. I haven't seen it yet in person and only have the photos. I can't find any reference with this arrangement of an Ersatz metal Pickelhaube with chinscales, guard star, line eagle and reserve cross. Cockades are Prussian enlisted type. Any thoughts? War bond composite or something...
