pylon1357 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I love that post card. Just fantastic. As for them there pointy helmet things, yeah... I suppose they have a rather high cool factor as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAK D Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hi @Fred Karno's Army, I love the poster! Does the Picklehaube in that poster represent the EU Those repros look pretty good too D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Cheers @DAK D at least with the reproduction picklehaubes at less than £60 each I don't mind the public handling them. On another note the postcard has been on my wants list for a while,the only other one I am seeking was one produced in 1914 by a Belgium company which showed in pencil drawing form the 'Huns rampaging army's troops ' throwing baby's up and literally catching them on the spikes of the helmets. Not a visually pleasing card,but one that sums up nicely the propaganda of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
