A nice looking ersatz in my opinion. Yes the Wappen was probably changed at some time but that could have even happened during the war. Hard to tell with the kokards so I will let someone with more experience comment on that. It displays nicely.

Thanks Sandy. I think it’ll have to remain a mystery as I don’t want to risk breaking it. Nice to know it might actually be a Tschako Wappen. Cheers. Peter

I use those on my wall in my recroom. I also make some out of pieces of pipe and flanges.

Okay I bought this a bit back and really like it regardless of authenticity. Intertestingly the eagle has the same look with the centre tail feather not quite reaching to the bottom. The eagle is metal. Someone has atached it to a very nice wooden hunting trophy type plaque and...

Really nice way to display your items. If I understand correctly, the helmet support rods and thier flat plates have powerful magnets attached to them? Would be nice to see a picture of how the magnets are attached to the rods. Really great to be able to easily move your display items around.

Very nice. I love the colour.

Brian Loree does a lot of restauration work, including polishing the metal parts if the owener wants that, so he is the best one to ask that question. Cheers. Peter

What was the name of the movie? Thanks. Peter

Great job! Looks really good. Different schools of thought on leaving as-is verus cleaning up. I removed some verdirgis very carefully from the Wappen of my first Pickelhaube. I would not shine anything though but that is a personal choice. Peter

Welcome to the group. Of course like Lay's Potato Chips - you can't just have one.....

Thank you all for your great comments. 😀

Thanks John.

That is the best news I have heard in a very long time. Why is it that the nicest people always end up being the ones who get screwed around? So happy for you Coert. Peter

Thanks.

My latest. I think it looks relly nice next to it's Artillery brother. Cheers. The last picture (from the seller) shows the colour a lot better. Peter

WOW!

What are the thoughts on this? Did they actually do miniatures or is it just something made after the war? Opinions welcome. Peter

I am very sorry to hear that Coert.

Funny but I can still access it fine here: https://www.kaisersbunker.com/ And everything seems to be working. From Poland (in Bydgoszcz for work at a NATO trial).
