WW1 Imperial Prussian Relic Pickelhaube.
Picked this relic up from a mate of mine who lives in the Koblenz area of Germany this week.

As you can see most of the metal fittings are there except for the top plate pins and both side cockades. The inside liner is in relative good supple condition and the item is regimental m... read more

The inside has its complete supple liner with one rodent bite and coming loose from one of the side liner ... read more
Vintage Persuader, Cosh.
The item measures just under 17 inches in length. The shaft and weighted end has been covered in a type of skin with the side seam running the length of the shaft. As for date id say at least late 18c or early 19c, cannot say if its a naval used example. I picked it up many years ago and added it to my collection of naval bosuns persuaders at the time.
NOT FOR SALE TO UNDER 18's! read more
