(helmets),coins, everything...Where can I get prussian antique for a cheaper price? (than ebay)
If you don't want to be foiled into buying a fake, I recommend taking a bite out of your wallet and going for expert dealership; buying helmets and other antiquities are a whole other world of telling fakes from coins.

Coins are much cheaper, since Prussia was one of the largest German states, it's lower-denomination issues are generally very common. Even it's thalers and commemorative Mark coins are common compared to those of the other German States.

By Prussian, I guess you mean only prussian pre-Germany stuff ?
Helmets, guns and other military stuffs are not that rare but quite expensive, and there are tons of fakes. It requires time to be able to distinguish the fake from the real.

Nonetheless, you can get some nice prussian beer mug (from the prussian time ) for reasonable price, or papers, books, posters,....

In Belgium ( i guess in France too and a fortiori in Germany) sometimes on flea markets you can get some stuff for really cheap prices with a bit of luck, even military stuffs, but it begins to be scarce these days.

Except ebays and flea markets or pro dealers (but then be ready to pay the price), I don't really know. I don't know if in Finland there are other sites than ebay to buy old stuff ?
Anything is fine. From a prussian small coin or stamp to a even a helmet. But I guess the auction house in this city could have something...
About stamps (and other stuffs) you can get them for reasonable prices on delcampe.net , better than ebay in many ways in my opinion.
You should decide if you want to hoard junk or start a serious collection. Imho its better to have 1 good item than hold stupid 400 items takeing up your space.
The best is to monitor the markets, i posted a good source already in your other thread, learn the prices, save up and wait for your special item to appear.

​Prussia's traditionally got a mojo for military strength and punching above it's weight in wars, but woe to those who think Prussian militarism makes it invincible... :O

Hello
Here's the link to our internet exchange. I wrote "Prussia," and this is what she offers:

I have access to purchase a letter signed by Wilhelm II in 1893, have to buy it though. Creased left to right on the shorter side, like the first step of folding paper plane.

​Hermann is a famous house but very expensive.

​Given Wilhelm's temperament and shortcomings I wouldn't be surprised if it was the first step in folding a paper plane...
