Not so long time ago I saw real Pikelhaube from IWW sold in some secondhand bookshop for 25 Euros. Should have bought it.

Awesome job, and all so interesting, I never saw the portuguese one XD

Portuguese doesn't even seem like a helm :3

The grooves were due to the manufacturing process, I think it was milled, though most of the Portuguese soldiers had British helmets.

Nice I like the comprehensive nature of this display. It seems to me that there where three main styles of helmets, and that other countries just had different variations on a theme.

I thank you for having noticed the arrangement, that was really my message.

No problem old boy, your very welcome. I like to see illustrations of variety, especially among military items.

You know there is a point were I would even question wearing one of those helmets, it won't stop most bullets, and only the majority of shrapnel, granted I can see some point in that way but still until Kevlar comes about its not worth it. The weight is not worth it. But if I had to choose I like either the British and French versions myself.

Yes, true, just for stop debries, and bullet quite dead, the most sturdy was the Italian Farina Helmet, its weight was about 1.5 Kg, five layer of nikel steel, but it wasn't an individual equipment, it was issued to the pioneers during barbed wired cutting operations.

Well still heavy I mean you could use it to beat someone with all of them actually, that not good. To be that heavy, I feel sorry for the necks of everyone that worn these.

Poor men, they were heavy burdened, helmet, ammunitions, weapon and a rucksack plenty of dotation, often more than 40 kg.

Yeah, I have always found the idea of trench warfare much more scary than other types, so easy to be buried alive, in Galipoli you had men burned alive from brush fires, drown in flash floods and mudslides and freeze to death with in months. Rats, disease, the mud, never being warm or clean. I have heard in Russia wolves entered the trenches and attacked people. It was truly a foreshadow of what was to come. I try not to think about it to much you know? I get depressed and cry I know that this year 100 years ago Verdun and the Somme start. Such horror.

Yes, I agree, I've seen photos I wish I'hadn't ever seen, I associate an horror feeling to the my mind map of WWI, maybe I need my gallery to exorcise the horror, we believe we are free citizens, but we are so until the state decides to steal our souls and life.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of that I agree, war should never be decided by those that will not being fighting

The Pickelhaube is my fav such a cool design, maybe it Wasn't so practical but damn did it look good :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It fascinate me too, I've seen that it was quite used by the South American Armies during early 1900.

The Italian Adrian looks cool to wear
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree, the problem was the low quality of the steel
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, that always can be a problem, it looks cool, but it doesn't exactly do its job
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We Italians are like that, it's written in our DNA
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In fact, the pickelhaube was not a good helmet, not even better than the french skull cap (in France we call it "cervelière").
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was just beautiful, but not suited for modern war, in italian we call them cervelliere, sisters languages, but I think that the italian word had a meaning in English too, probably because of the Normans

I'm always glad to share with friends

Mamma mia quante differenze, e si tratta di semplici cappelli!! Grandioso!
Posso chiederti se hai un preferito tra questi?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Quello austriaco mi piace tantissimo, gli italiani lo chiamavano "paperino" perché visto dall'alto sembrava che avesse un becco
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
these look really nice, but of all these, which one do you think was the best one? in protecting the soldier in the best way
