Greetings,
I follow the forum in the last month, finding real kind people with great cultural background in militaria and history.
I am a blade (knives, dagger, sword) collector since I was a boy…especially focusing on traditional knives from Italy and France.
I also have a special interest in history of XX century (in middle ages also…)
Now I would like to merge my interests. I hope to do this with the help of all forum members, so
thank you in advance!

Hello everyone,

I’ve heard that the Russian White Army used the WW1 German Stahlhelm models to equip the White soldiers during the civil war, they would also apparently mount an imperial Russian badge on the front as well.

So I’ve been searching for period photos and museum/collector’s examples of these Russian Stahlhelms but I have not found any as of yet (outside of these drawings). So my question to the forum would be if you have found any period photos of these helmets and or you own one of these helmets then please post them here! Any more info is of course welcome as well.

Hopefully we’ll get an interesting thread started.

Dear Member of the forum,

I just came across this Schirmmütze für Offiziere der Gebirgsjäger Propagandakompanie.
I have an overall good feeling with it, I just do not like the eagle, it looks a bit crude ?

I also know that when it come to Propagandakompanie visor cap, we have to be careful due to similiarity with fadded offcier Transport visor cap.

As usual with German WW2 items, I am extremly suspicious and before acquiring it, I would like to have your opinion…

Many thanks for your opinion.
