Bienvenue Clovis. Patrick

Me too-just blank screen when opening topics. Patrick

Brian, I want to do some re-shaping with a hat-stretcher to the back of an M95 helmet. The liner still has its original adjustment ‘string’, which is tightly knotted, and I don’t want to interfere with this, so I can’t pull the liner outwards to let the stretcher sit on the shell,rather than...

Although I’ve owned the helmet for a few months I’ve only just noticed a name inside. Stamped in ink on the inside of the front is the name ‘Quenzel’. The hat size 58 is stamped just below it, so I imagine it is the name of the manufacturer. Does anybody know of a manufacturer by this name? If...

Hi Brian, Contribution sent again, with a note.I hope some new contributors step up to the plate this year. Patrick

Hi Bruno, I’ve been hit for 20% plus in the past and I know other people who have experienced this. Maybe things have changed or it’s how they’re described and/or valued? Should have thought to ask you what you do. Can you drop me an email with some details, please? Thanks Patrick

Hi, I am looking for a good example of each of these haubes, preferably from Europe, as the import duties etc. from N. America to UK are horrendous! Please pm me if you can help. Thanks Patrick

Tony, The whole group is superb. What is the history of the items being kept together and so beautifully preserved and cared for? Patrick

I don’t collect M15’s, but I’d make an exception for this one! Patrick

I already have a copy, but would recommend it to all you helmet collectors out there. Great idea, Peter Patrick

I totally agree! Patrick

That’s a great collection! Welcome to the forum. Patrick

Thanks. Fascinating! Patrick

Astonishing!

I have been lucky enough to be able to buy this very scarce Saxon helmet from a fellow member of the forum. It has all the characteristics of Leib-Grenadier-Regiment no 100 , but, I believe, could also be to Pioneer Battalion 12. All fittings, apart from the central device, in brass, are in...

That’s a very nice group. Congratulations. What are the medals? Patrick

Superb helmet. I know some people don’t believe in cleaning up helmets, but I think restoring an item like this to its former glory Is great! Patrick

These are superb, thanks. The first haube I ever bought was a private purchase Prussian M71. It was beginner’s luck- great helmet, absolutely solid and in beautiful condition. Unfortunately, when I changed my collecting habits about 15 years ago I sold it, along with all my other haubes. I...

I have a Saxon EM 95, for which I have been able to find the correct un-serrated State kokarde. I now need the same style Reich’s kokarde. Does anybody have one for sale? I know where I can get the paired set, but I don’t want to pay for a Saxon one I don’t now need, or take the risk of not...

Hi Kris, This site doesn’t have the right type of plume as far as I can see. It has to be like the ones on my helmet and on the one for sale I posted about. I would contact ‘The Plumery’. Patrick
