Tremendous kolossal!

Hey Zebedeus, first of all a belated happy birthday!
And second; what a fabulous set of helmets.
Thanks for sharing them.

Very nice.
Thanks for sharing.
Don't know what is going on with postal services, but they all take very long to cross the ocean!

Super!

Working again!

Forum is not working properly for the momment....

Just a quick message to tell we got two new spam posts.

Thanks!

Just made a little blog regarding my Belgian Congo stuff;

Great job indeed.

Thanks for sharing.
The "small history " of the soldiers is what I love to discover too.

Very curious to see a front view of the man with the spike helmet!

Great helmet, in such a great condition too.

Great helmet!

Always look on the bright side.
They are here that is what matters.

I know chances that anything gets lost are little.
I send like a parcel a day, and had 3 losses, only one recovery over all my years.
And using nearly all existing postal services.

There was no declared value it was listed as a gift.
Had my birthday recently ...! ;-)
It was insured for 1000 ca$.

Once I didnt had to pay any custom duties on a pickel coming from (James) in the us, on my birthday.
Didn't worked this time.

It is in!
Looks great!!
Many thanks to the sender/seller!
But have to go to the office now.........

This is far out the most I ever had to pay ... It might have to do with the provenance (Canada! ??) a friend of me collecting books also had to pay 110 euro for a book worth 600 euro (coming from Canada too). I had parcels coming from the US worth as much as thise one and never had to pay more then ...

Side view looks good

Indeed!
Would love to own one too.

That’s a very nice group. Congratulations. What are the medals? Patrick Thank you all! The medals are quiet something. First of all the 3 first (from the left!) are the highest distinctions one could get. Second is the fact that they bear a unlingual motto in Flemish. The Flemish motto (generaly!) ...

Very nice for Mounted as well I believe... James Thanks James. This is the mounted police, the foot police had the similar helmet, but no tail. I prefere this one. Really nice :bravo: Was a plume worn with the mane? Or what was the little pocket on the side for? Thank you. Yes, it should have a plu...
