got it today. a nice cross but, ring is not marked. i thought it was.

Perhaps a bit optimistic, working from top to bottom, just got to finish the coving at the top and rewire the other chandelier. Wifey will do the door frames tomorrow but she has very bad toothache at the moment and is going to the dentist. Then it is wallpaper and dido rail. Flooring is there and should be easy-peasy. Been delayed due to work and a lot of bleed through now sealed.

Someone has done a good job with that! Remarkable attention to detail! Rich

@fireman687Thanks for your input, much appreciated!

I realise this post is now a couple of years old. However, I can confirm that this is a post war German police helmet. A large quantity of these appeared on the market 10 to 15 years ago and from various manufacturers including Quist. Around 50% of them had a Baden-Wuerttemberg decal on the left hand side just to the rear of the vent hole whilst the other 50% had no decals. The chinstrap on this example is not original but the buckle and black loop are.

looks to be very nice detail. again boys must have their toys.

i can't and really don't want to add on big bulky items for i am looking to down size. so the small items will do fine.

I like that one @hanswolf1224. I sadly sold mine off, the WW2 one as well, last year. But Others will come again. This one you have is very nice, congrats!

Cant wait to see the finish!

WOW!! That is lovely!!

True @Davejb, So far have seen nothing. Money's tight now anyway. Just took on a car payment. Tired of the old jalopies Nickle and diming me to death.

I may have found a prebuilt, customised, painted and weathered version.

Here in the UK you can find those parts at the War and Peace show but as for any one selling parts on line, you might have a problem

added this one and may have a marked ring just under ribbon.

Still havent gotten one? I had a big RC Panther, wasnt Tamiya though. Was pretty cool fired yellow plastic BBs. Kinda wish I still had it. But I remember these RC kits from Tamiya, well. Always wanted one.

Hi folks: Looking to restore this Pickelhaube. Looking for parts. What you see in the photos is what I have, so need a lot lol. Just putting my line in the waters to see whats out there. Let me know if you have any EM/NCO pickelhaube parts. Thanks

Here are a couple of mine to give you an Idea. The one you were looking at, I would say $125/$150 in that condition. I paid $190 and $225 (one with liner pads) for these . The $225 was picked up last year. Both retain most of the orig. paint.

Really nice one @hanswolf1224!

everything today is over priced. most think they have stuff that is worth a small fortune and in their mind think it is rear. sure ww1 German helmets are a scarce item and to find/get one all original and complete is hard to find but, the old saying is if you want it you will pay for it. why settle for a rusted junk shell? look and wait- things come if you are willing to wait.

have you seen the price of any WW1 german lids, getting scary...

maybe but, not worth 200.00 plus sales tax added on.

Hardly a relic, looks to be a nice bit of original paint left...

Holy thread resurectuion Batman.... Here I am, 5 years later and thinking about one for my 55th.. .;)

200 for a relic, someone is trying there luck, I had one that cost me 25 quid in August last year

Sorry Guys,been away for a while. Ok,Panzer i have a good pal in the Netherlands who should have the other item you need.
