Saxon Garde Reiter Helmet

[stuka f]

Thanks!
Well it took me a week to box and move them.
A luxury problem we seems to have both!
And, ... it is sad to see the display cases empty, when I pass that particular room. But I prefere knowing it was me that empty them instead of a buglar...

You can, Charles! Congratulations. A friend of mine in Europe owns a spectacular collection of GR helmets and their cats and knows everything about those. The rarest find is the lion alone (and finding the lion in feldgrau version is even more challenging!..).

Thanks to you all for your appreciation. Here are some detailed views. Finding an original cockade is extremely difficult.

I know of only one person in the world, who meets these criteria, it's as if you turned him in!!!!
He's my friend too. Roger lives on the Reichsland border, and me too!

We are indeed referring to the same person! Amazing collection and knowledge, and an obsession with the condition of items.
