The
purpose of this site is to share information about Imperial
German stuff and keep my own findings straight. I don't sell anything.
I am no expert. I am a collector. I give
several opinions a day on things. It is what it
is an opinion and you get what you pay for.
It is free. It might not be right, and I have been
wrong before and will be wrong again. But it is
a heck of a lot of fun. I have been told this site is like a gold mine -- true -- you have to dig around a lot to find anything of value. The article tabs continue to be the most heavily utilized part of this site. Click on the picture to go to the article.
There is a new and interesting helmet under the pickelhaubes tag LJR153.
We are finishing another book. Continual reviews by some very respected content reviewers have been extremely positive. We still have to complete the editing-nowdeep into chapter 3 of 4-, and add back in the pictures. It is a "Handbook of Imperial Germany".
Currently at 288 pages without the pictures, 178 figures, and over 600 foot notes. I would expect we will be done sometime in July 09. This is history. The book has nothing to do with helmets, militaria, or uniforms.
It will take three months from the time that it's sent to the publisher until it is printed
There has been a significant change in the article on one-year volunteers. It is worth reading as it changes or clarifies many of the misconceptions of uniform and equipment purchasing from units.
In addition to helmet marking this article on uberzug is getting the most interest.
Two articles giving examples of helmet markings:
There is also an article on helmet makers and their marks:

or too much, I beg pardon." St. Augustine -- The
