Unfortunately, the grommets are lined with some corrosion that makes it hard to photograph well. It looks like I could clean them rather safely but I wanted to post some pictures in its as-found condition.
Thanks in advance for your comments!

Hello guys
it ’s my desire to share with you all my last cross, I was in search for a time and finally I get it. Please take a look to dates, they are really charateristics. The frame too. I find it very nice and with a nice patina. Manufacturer is Robert Hauschild - Pforzheim (or this is convinced thought).

Hi there just joined the site and need a little help. I have got what I think is an M1916/17 helmet. Unfortunately it has been painted black as you can hopefully see from the attached pictures. I would like to restore it, but not having done this before I am not entirely sure how. Firstly I need to take the black, I think enamel, paint off. What is the best thing to do that with? It has a crack that I want to fill again how best should I do that. I then need to paint it and I need some help here too.
I would like to show my German Feldpost postcard illustrated with an Infanterie Sturmabzeichen. Quoted on the card is a section of a speech given by Adolf Hitler at the Reichstag. It translates, roughly, as;
In this fight the German foot soldiers have proven themselves to be what they have always been: The Best Infantry in the World.
Beside the postcard is my WH (Walter & Heinein) Infanterie Sturmabzeichen.
