Cheers Spiker, much obliged. Kev.

Hi Folks, Just wondered if some kind sole would take a look at this Württemberg pickelhaube and tell me what you think, I think it looks OK but I am still quite new at collecting and would love to know what a more experienced collector thought. Cheers. Kev.

I do like a good detective story. =D>

Thanks for your help guys, I thought it looked contemporary to the shako, perhaps I'll never know for certain, there's also what looks like the number 34 on the inner peak. Cheers. Kev.

Hi folks, Can anyone give me some info on what this No75 stands for on the liner of this shako. Cheers. Kev.

Thanks for that, I'm not really very good at this by the looks of things I thought the silver eagle had just lost it's gilding and I've just realised I've posted in the wrong category, Sorry. Cheers. Kev

Hi Folks, A quick question this item is down as an Officer's shako of an airship or telegraph battalion, to me it looks like a standard Jager officer's, I know nothing about these items and wondered if some one could put me right please. Cheers. Kev.

Hey Joe, Thanks for your swift reply, much obliged, unfortunately the images are all I have to go on at the moment, I have asked if there are any extra holes coming through the helmet for the plate and he said no, I take it the star would have it's fixings to the the plate rather than coming...

Hi folks, I would like your thoughts on this pickelhaube of regiment number 91 of the Oldenburg infantry, I think it's ok but I thought I'd better run it past you guys before I go and do something I regret. Cheers. Kev.

I think this one is supposed to be Flieger Battalion. Kev.

Cheers Joe, much obliged. Kev.

That really helps, thanks very much for the info. Are Telegraph Battalions and the Flieger Battalions rarer. Kind regards. Kev.

Hi Folks, Could someone confirm that this chinstrap/scales is correct for this enlisted mans shako please, I would have expected to see just a leather chinstrap. Cheers. Kev.

Thanks Ted for all the advise, I'm trying to ease myself into it slowly and I'm still collecting my WW1 British head gear as well so I'm in no rush, incidentally if you ever want to part with any of your British collection, I'd always be interested. Cheers. Kev

Joe, you say the nicest things :bravo:

Hey, for what it's worth, as a newbie, I like it :thumb up:

Hey, thanks for all the help, it's really appreciated. Kev.

Well spotted, it is infantry and the original Wappen

We're all doomed :D

Thanks everyone, much obliged. I think I'm going to like it here :thumb up:
