    1. Hello , the pickelhaube is a nice piece , apart from the splintering i dont see other damage , Stahlhut says that if you file a claim they will pay you but they have reatain the pickelhaube . better ask to some specialist about how to restore the lack , that of the helm must be some kind of nitrocellulose based .of the same type of the one used to coat hand made guitars 

    2. Dr Heinrich Schnee wears the uniform of Governor of German East Africa . dark blue tunic with white collar and cuffs .the cuffs were of same model of those of the used by Generals. both collar and cuffs were embroidered in a pattern for civilian servants .the headress was a peaked cap in dark blue with white band and piping with the imperial cockade on the band .white trousers and black shoes . 

    3. Hello ,Iam not certain if in Imperial Germany or Austria Hungary existed decorations with a monetary stipendium anexed but i can said that in many cases the Monarch added to the award a money donation . The Prussian Kings were very generous with the generals and high officials which served well . Emperor Francis Joseph was also a grateful monarch . In Great Britain after WW1 Sir Douglas Haig received apart of the honours a metallic donation of 100 thousand pounds . In Germany It was called Dotation ,Crown Dotation and could be in metallic or Land , curiously during the Weimar Republic and during the III rd Reich the System was mantained , Hitler was very generous with his followers or persons who desires to flatter

The Czech Army until its demotion in 1939 used the gun too , the Polish Army destroyed in 1939 employed many pieces .even the Wehrmacht employed the 75mm M15 . either the ones belonging to the Austrian Bundesheer until 1938 or the Italian ones captured after the 1943 Armnistice
