Adler 1 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 As a first post here on GMIC, I was thinking of a simple M15 Pickelhaube... Nothing special, but it's one of my favorites... Adler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Beautiful condition! What do you recommend for keeping these old leather helmets from falling to pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adler 1 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Start with purchasing them in good condition and then keep them away from sunlight in a temperature and humidity controled room...

Adler 1 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks gentlemen! There's a Bekleudungsamt stamp, but it has faded... No regimental stamp... Adler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Welcome Adler, I look forward to seeing more of your collection. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Karel, Welcome to the forum. Your wonderful collection photos are always a pleasure. Chip P.S. And for Rick, I might add that it is always good to display or store your Pickelhauben in such a way that they are not resting on their visors. The weight of the helmet will eventually break down the stitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
