Very nice sword made by Alex Coppel of Solingen in 1891 and is complete with scabbard. Both the sword and scabbard are marked to 25D 1 14 – 25th Dragoons, 1st Squadron, issue number 14. In addition to the sword, a partial sword knot is present for the 1st Squadron (white acorn and tassle), plus...

Clearing out some of my odds and ends and have this going spare from a pre WW1 from dunkelblau uniform. Very good condition, some fading (but then it is 120 years old!) but NO mothing. Nicely embroidered numerals in red. Its on ebay UK at the moment https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134573156960 ...

1. Prussian Jager reserve officer wappen with voided crown and silver reserve cross. Most of the gilding remains (despite the poor picture). Old damage to the ‘chicken on a stick’ which has period repair the upper of which has come free. I think this is probably wartime manufacture as it has...

Very nice Prussian M15 officer’s helmet as discussed here https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/m15-prussian-officer.17494/. I’ve got to start a clear out and as this isn’t Hanoverian, it’s the first to go. Some wappen and odds and ends will be posted over the coming weeks. Shell is in...

Got this a while back as I’d always wanted an M15 officer but they didn’t come up for sale that often. Overall in good condition, appears to be fibre but unfortunately there’s a little split in the rear peak. Metalwork all appears to be brass ( no plated zinc). Just wondered what everyone...

Hi all A German auction house has a rather beat up JR 92 haube for sale at the moment and just out of curiosity I asked for some more detailed pictures of the front and back of the wappen. Naturally there are 2 sets of holes in the shell, but has anyone ever seen the back of a wappen like this...

Just a bit behind Stirnpanzer but I’m looking for anyone ‘downsizing’ with any spare shoulder boards for the Hannoverian infantry, artillery, jäger and pioneer regiments ( ie not the cavalry, I had to draw the line somewhere :) ) If there are any Gibraltar arm bands I’d be very interested as...

Hi. Just as a warning to fellow collectors, I found this on the German Ebay small ads app and agreed a price with the seller https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/pickelhaube-preussen-sammlerstueck/1977304392-234-5605 I paid via PayPal but stupidly trusted him and used Friends and Family...

I've just taken delivery of an engineer officers haube with great metalwork but a totally wrecked shell. Before I pester Brian to see if it's even possible to bring back to life, does anyone have an officer's shell they're thinking of moving on? If push comes to shove I could reuse the front...

I know this is a very long shot but does anyone have an officers neusilber visor trim and studs that they're looking to move on, swaps or sale? If so, please PM me. Many thanks Jeremy

Hi all Not strictly eBay but this item has come up at a local auction house advertised as "Imperial German One Year Volunteers Pickelhaube of Field Artillery Regiment von Scharnhorst (1. Hanoversches) Nr10" and appearing to be Hanoverian has got me interested. Artillery Helmet Taking into...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone has a vulkanfiber shell they be interested in selling. Happy to consider anything from a stripped down shell to a fully loaded haube. Many thanks Jeremy

I've just obtained this very nice pair of (I think) M1866 oberleutnant shoulder boards for FR73. Any thoughts gratefully received

Just wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to the background for these officer cockades with card centres?

Hi all I was thinking of making a bid on this https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWI-German-Depaheg-Patent-Pickelhaube-Spiked-Helmet/114724590603 if it stays low but the seller has just confirmed he wont ship to the UK :( Would any kind soul be willing to take receipt and ship on to the UK for me? Just...

Hi all Wonder if anyone has an answer to this (although I suspect it will be “no”). I’ve just got a vulkanfiber shell from a forum member but it’s a little distorted and out of shape and I was wondering if anyone had had a similar problem and if so, how they sorted it out. From what I’ve seen...

Hi all Wonder if anyone can help. I'm looking for a reichskokard to go with this Prussian one. Size is 50mm. At the moment i have a copy on that's not great. With single band, I'm guessing Vizefeldwebel or Feldwebel? Got a few bits to swap including the one that I need except its made for...

Back in April I purchased a rather sad looking JR73 officer’s helmet from a German dealer. The metalwork was ok but the shell looked like it had been used for a game of football (soccer) during the Christmas 1914 lull! So, who did I call? Brian The haube whisperer has bought this soft shell...
