Oh dang I didn’t realize that was there, very cool. I will definitely let him know but I think he might actually already have an example of an M15 and M95. Though I’m not 100% on that. Been a while since I’ve seen his collection, so I could be mistaken but we’ll see.

Thank you for your insight, Clovis! The reference image is particularly appreciated. Hopefully this thread will be helpful for anyone dealing with a fake Reuss wappen like the one I posted 😎

Thank you both kindly, Alan and Coert! I will have to let my buddy know, but knowing him, I’ll probably need to send him the whole thread to completely convince him 😅

Hello everyone! I’m back again asking a question on behalf of a friend. My buddy saw this pickelhaube for sale the other day and he was thinking about purchasing it. If I’m not mistaken, this should be an M1895 from the principality of Reuss, correct? It is listed for $450. Any help is greatly...

Gorgeous flag! She's a beauty.

I appreciate the reply Clovis! I will be sure to let my friend know your opinion!

Hello all! It’s been a while since I last posted, but a friend of mine has been looking to get into Imperial German, and he was looking to purchase the flag attached below. He was wondering if anyone here could determine whether it was wartime or postwar. Thanks!

No problem haha, it's always good to be skeptical in this hobby!

If it helps, I can ask my friend for some more photos, is there anything specific you need to see?

Hello everyone! What are ya'lls thoughts on this WWI German feldmutze? Asking on behalf of a friend. Is it any good, and what regiment is it from? If more photos are needed, just let me know and I'll shoot a message to my buddy!

yep, I would definitely recommend sending a PM

Perhaps @Sergei1877 can help?

Nice! It’s a little rough but definitely a solid helmet!

I think veteran-painted helmets are extremely cool in their own right. It's unfortunate that the poster can't seem to appreciate the true history of the helmet.

I believe this is it: https://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/forum/ken-jasper-international-militaria-forums/imperial-uniforms-and-headgear/15388306-my-m16-camo

Good stuff NCR! You and Dane are some of my favorite pickelposters lol Gotta sell a couple of WWII German items to feed the Imperial German addiction!

Here are those “expert opinions” he was talking about if anyone was wondering

Yep, ignorance is not a good trait at all. More people should ask with an open mind, and acknowledge their mistake when proved to be wrong. While we are on the topic of fake camo’s, you mentioned that you have lots of experience with original camo stahlhelms. One of my friends recently bought...

Unfortunately our friend has already made up his mind about this helmet. He posted it to the Wehrmacht Awards Forum as well and they also said it was no good.

Wow! I never thought of using cheap wine glasses for my helmets, I think I’ll steal this idea from you, Coert! 😂
