The old problem.I'm currently looking for chains for a helmet. I have several spare parts in my collection, but not a pair that matches in condition. It's a pity.... I´am looking on every flee market, but it's looking for a needle in a haystack

Today I was able to get this beautiful Feldbinde. The leather is still soft and the buckle and hook are complete. Unfortunately one of the leather loops is missing, but usually when you find a belt like this, there aren't any left. Therefore I am satisfied.You can still see the field gray paint...

Wonderfull Giffins !

Yes, it is. It will be very hard to find a single one. 😞

Hello, at the weekend I was able to get this beautiful Baden griffin. Should it be the 109th Leib Regiment? Unfortunately the "Gardestern" is missing. Best Regards

Hello, maybe someone knows about buckles (I suspect France) and can help. I received this belt and unfortunately I cannot determine the belt buckle. I've been researching for a long time and found many similar models but not exactly this one.Maybe there is a specialist here in the forum who can...

Hello, Now it is fine in my case. Since a few days I can write PN . From one day to the next, there are a new button with the PN function. Best regards

Thank you Peter I will try to ask him. Best regards

Hello, here are more photos. The light isn't ideal for it right now, but you should be able to see everything. The lining was definitely not changed.It is originally sewn as is. The hat comes from a workshop find - there was a whole box full of unworn little ones. Mostly blue, but also a few...

Hello, yes that would be the best way. I will try a display like that and show some pictures. Thank you for your help. Best regards

Hello Peter, I used to mainly collect German Army WW2. There it is a "no go" to edit helmets or remove patina. But you never will have verdigris on a WW2 steel helmet. I'll think about it again. I don't know if the verdigris damages the silver plating? Then I would remove it better ?. Best...

Hello,now I have worked on the hair bush. At first I didn't use any water, I just brushed the entire bush with a very, very soft baby hair brush. I was able to remove a lot of dirt. The bristles of the baby brush were black afterwards (they were white before :)Only a few loose hairs have been...

I'm very happy if you like the hat. I got the piece with two other Feldgrauen Baden Krätzchen. I have never had a blue piece in such good condition before. I don`t know how best to present something like this. Just put it in the display case or on a hat stand ? But then the folded look wouldn't...

Hello, I wanted to introduce my Krätzchen here. This is an unworn piece. It is still folded as it was issued to the soldier years ago. ´s hard to find a condition like that today. Best regards

Great ! Thank you very much for the list. The piece comes from a Baden household. So it could well be that it is a parade bush of a Baden unit.It will be a challenge to find the right helmet for it.

Many thanks for the answer. Yes, I'm torn about what to do.It really seems to have been a problem in imperial times too. I want to do as little to the parade bush as possible and maintain its condition. First I will try to carefully brush out a strand of hair with a very soft baby brush. Maybe...

Hello Steve, Thank you for the detailed answer. It's great if you can access a database like this. It definitely takes a long time and you have to study a lot of books to create something like that. Until recently I mainly collected German Army 33' to 45'. I have a very good selection of...

I think I used the wrong words. I think about to fix the Busch a little. Because the Hair is very tousled. Perhaps there is a way to "combig" it ? I want the hair like it was bevore. Best regards

Thank you for the information. I think about to restore the "Busch" carefully.I´m not sure how to handle the hair... ? Best regards

Thank`s a lot ! I will try to get this book. I´m realy new at this "Paradebusch" topic ( and my english is very basic ) They are realy had different hairs for Officers and other ranks ? White Yack hair and horse hair look pretty much the same !? But it is the german army... they would do...
