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

here is a little of what managed to collect something in his collection. The main course in my collection is the soldiers of various scales, which I collect since childhood

When I started this hobby, my aim was to preserve history. We all guard our collection well so as not to allow any fakes that flow into our collection. I do have to say that it is amazing skill but my first reaction was - if this item flow into the market as original then our line of defence is dow...

I certainly agree. It is not a fake. It is a beautiful reproduction that has not been presented as an original. What a fantastic demonstration of a set of skills that few possess. I am in awe Sergei1877.

Thank you for understanding

Pardon me if I may sound too offensive. Wouldn't one call this re-work a fake? Well, did I write somewhere that this is the original? This is a reproduction. If I sold this thing giving it away as the original, it would be fake and fraud. And so I just made a reproduction, well, for example, for th...

Sergei....you made this piece? Or you restored it?? Awesome work either way!

I did this completely myself. Buying a hussar hat is simply expensive for me. Even in poor condition, they are very rare. I decided to sew myself

great work

several photos of the work in the process of tailoring

....

one more photo

Hello . I want to show my work on the hussar hat. This is not quite a restoration of the subject, but rather a reconstruction of the Hussar Pelzmüce. Material used only natural. linen, leather, seal or fur

thanks for the good comments

Oh, my goodness. it's just amazing

This is just a dream

beauty

A war time casque with zinc fittings?

yes indeed it is zinc

I think the helmet looks great, but I have a somewhat unrelated question: When was the top eagle authorized for wear on these helmets? I believe that the lion on top of Saxon Garde Regiments was authorized in 1876, but when was the Prussian Garde authorized to wear the eagle? John :? much earlier b...

Hi Andrey I really like . Is it from Kassel?

Work done...restitch both visors, provide one original trim brad. resolder split brad on spine, clean all fittings, refinish areas of missing lacquer, apply polish to entire helmet to blend in new finish. https://photos.smugmug.com/Completed-Restorations/i-QTGLVQq/0/...
