    Chinstrap with relatively soft and flexible leather

    Fear fellow collectors, last year, a chinstrap of a Pickelhaube fell into my hands, which still has a relatively soft leather and which is still very flexible. The leather seems to be very dry and therefore old, because it tears immediately at the edges when you twist it a little. But it is...

    M1915 Hairbush

    Dear fellow collectors, does anyone have a photo of an M1915 with hair bush or photos of a hair bush funnel M1915 with bayonet lock? I only read about it… With 14.8 cm it was taller than the 11 cm funnel of the M1895, because the neck of the fitting was now part of the spike or funnel. I would...

    Yellow helmet fittings - Baden LGR 109 from 1867 to 1870/71 or 1885?

    Dear collector friends, I have just read in the “Mitteilung zur Geschichte der Militärischen Tracht” that the helmet of the LGR 109 had yellow fittings in the period from 1867 to 1885. However, in Knötel's “Uniformenkunde” it is written that this was the case in the period from 1867 to 1870/71...

    Opinions about the Cockades please…

    Dear Fellow Forum Members, I‘d be very happy about your opinions regarding these Cockades. At first glance, the Imperial Cockade looked like a fake to me because I didn't like the color or the back. In the photo, however, the front looks quite authentic, which is why I'm unsure. I have never...
