Imperial Saxon Ahnhalt Officer's Helmet (Item WWI 2-1)

DESCRIPTION:This Pickelhaube is a truly rare one from the smallest of the German states, Saxony Ahnalt. This is considered to be one of the rarest of all Imperial German helmets for infantry line officers. The body of this helmet is in very fine condition. The Kokarden are right and original. The gilding on the eagle is super fine. The gold plating on the spike and base is near mint. The silk liner is gone, but the leather sweatband is in fine shape. There is a size written inside-58 ˝. The visors are intact and not loosened up at all. The lip of the front visor constructed in brass has come a bit loose from the leather and can easily be put back by widening the slit a little bit. The helmet leans to the side a little because of the storage box that the vet had put it into where it was pressed a bit by a dragoon helmet in metal that shared its space for over 30 years. The Ahnalt Crest is in very good condition and its crown is with open work as it should be. They don't come much better than this one. Don't miss it!

PRICE: SOLD

Imperial German Pickelhaube, Spike Helmet (Prussian Customs) (Item WWI 2-2)

DESCRIPTION:This is possible one of the most beautiful of spike-top helmet of the Kaiser Reich. This would be a Kaiserliche customs helmet. This looks like a military helmet in every way except for the small ball on top of the fluted spike and the Kaiser's cipher on the breast of the eagle. The silk part of the liner of this helmet is long gone, but the remaining leather is fine. One of the brass scales is loose, but holding! The usual minute cracking is hardly visible on the body. The gilding on this eagle plate is great and what can we say-this is a right gorgeous helmet and a fine relic of better time in Die Deutsche Vaterland

PRICE: SOLD

 Miniature Portrait of von Hindenburg (Item WWI 2-7)

DESCRIPTION: This is the finest portrait study of the Field Marshal we have ever seen in many years of collecting and merchandising Germanic art. It is an actual painting done in the finest form of the art of the miniaturist. It is painted on porcelain and is so lifelike as to be breathing! It measures 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches in brilliant colors and deep perception. This work is signed Retrük and whoever that artist was, he cold be considered one of the greats.

 WWI German HQ Presentation Cigarette Box (Item WWI 2-8)

DESCRIPTION: This small silver box was presented by the headquarters staff of the Germany Army stationed at Antwerp, Belgium. The words on the front of this box read Kommandantur Antwerpen 1914-1916. It can logically be presumed that this is a presentation given to one of the officers of the command, possibly as a retirement gift. This was a very usual occurrence When you don't know what to give a person you give him a box to keep other things in, and if he smoked, then the choice was easy! The box is 5 ˝ inches long x 3 ˝ inches wide and about 2 inches deep. It has the engraved copies of each officer's signature on the top; nine in all. It has the usual crescent, crown, and the 800 silver designation on the left bottom edge. There is also a WTB (maker) mark as well. The inside is cedar lined for tobacco freshness. The box is in nice condition with the wood inside a little tacky. Antwerp fell to the Germans in October 1914. This is a great historical item of the Great War and an actual memorial more or less to these officers otherwise long forgotten.

PRICE: SOLD
