It looks fantastic Sergei, congratulations!

thank you very much friends

I bought the emblem of the hussar regiment dug from the battlefield of the first world, as I understand it, the old model

drawing of the device of the hussar cap of the lower ranks. Maybe someone will come in handy

Here's the bio I got with the helmet: Flügeladjutant von Fürst zu Meiningen Hans Schäfer. Hans Schaefer joined the Royal Prussian Army on February 28, 1912, as a flag-junker. The son of a senior government and building councilor, he joined the 1st Silesian Grenadier Regiment "King Frederick Wi...

Well my question was obviously answered, thank you to all. Beautiful silk liners on those Officer busbies! Sergei, does this mean you will be out hunting bears after Christmas to get a suitable new cover for this busby? :D I have a fur seal, it seems to work too. but it will be a pity to kill the b...

Russian hussar hat of the army lancers' regiments, sewn from felt cork covered with sheep (lamb skin) karakul skin

here are the officer's hussar hats, they are all without a bamboo frame

Is that a Russian busby or German Sergei? I don't see the usual bamboo/cane interior structure that we find in the German ones. That is a project that is beyond my skills and I look forward to see more photos as you restore this piece. Merry Christmas from Canada! :thumb up: it looks like a German ...

as the work progresses, I will post photos on the restoration of this hat

Hello . They sent an officer's hussar cap for restoration in such a deplorable state. I will try to restore it, of course the fur will have to be replaced with a new one. and in general there is a lot of work to restore it.

Just curious,

You meant this helmet is a fake too? The chinstrap looks genuine to me though.

yes, of course, I myself collected this helmet for my friend as a gift to the collection, so that he would look as realistic as possible

I had no idea that anything that looked that realistic ever came out of India! You can usually spot the Indian crap a mile away. They are getting better. John :o :o :o yes agree quite a decent copy. But she still has drawbacks, unless, of course, you put the original parts on the helmet, then you c...

This is a fake here and there is nothing to discuss We usually refer to a fake as a copy. Here we rather have a mixture of parts put together and repainted, and some quite possibly original, like the shell. Therefore, there is plenty to discuss to help less informed collectors who, unfortunately, h...

great collection.

This is a fake here and there is nothing to discuss

Whose make are the Imperial German figures? I recently painted up a group of Armies in Plastic's Imperial Germans at the request of my Grandson (we do war games). The Germans are the Blue Army and the Brits are the Red Army.

Schildkröte company figures

added several shelves for soldiers. but there’s still not enough space

this helmet is frankenstein. I would not buy it. Well, if only for parts cheaply

Some variant are known also on M1915 version of garde stern. The central part of the scroll could be "Mit Gott" or "Fur Koenig", obviously the other inscriptions of the circular scroll are rotated accordingly.

that is, it’s just a kind of guards star?

if it were magnetic it would not be preserved at all

My hypotesis about the M1915 eagle is based on the fact that neusilber will never be attacked by rust as the eagle pictured. If you look at the superior edges of the wings the are not smooth but rough because of some kind of rust aggression. I am 95% sure that eagle posted is magnetic. no it’s not m...

Friends help identify the guard emblem with shako. Why the inscription is a little different from the rest the emblem has a silver color.

Dear friends, tell me by the find from the battlefields. Found an eagle in cupronickel (Neusilber) what kind of regiment wore such an eagle? 97923847_2653729548287885_621209934956068864_n.jpg 96844272_617508175516270_1188655765653553152_n.jpg 96792476_296620771329931_7250113397914599424_n.jpg 967341...

Wow! Pickelhauben, raupenhelme, miters, beskozirka, military miniatures and castles! Mirrors my own interests, and much of my own collection. I wonder if we're related?

Steve

we are here, one way or another, all connected

Sergei1877 - they are 28mm conversions. They represent the 5th company of the 3rd battalion of German Marines in China 1914.

I recently bought Hessian infantry at a scale of 28 mm for the period of the US War of Independence. I want to try to do it. I’ll post a photo, if interested
