Thank you gentlemen! A photo of Emanuel Prinz zu Salm-Salm in the uniform of a GdC Rittmeister.

Awesome photos Jeff! I love them!

The Berlin seller would suggest GdC, but it's not a sure thing.

I recently got several Knottel prints, mostly of early Hannoverian units. This one was interesting because I have a document for a member of one of these Regiments in this period

Here is a portrait of Eduard as commander of the GKR

The back of this has a note stating "1891 Hannover". It has quite the mix of Cavalry units. At least one from each Cavalry type(except JzP), many different Regiments. I'm guessing these are attendees of the Hannover Riding School. It's fun to try to guess which Regiments. My first cut: GKR...

This is an Officer's version of the M54 Kurassier Pallasch. It was made by Damaschke. The blade is massive, about 37.75 inches long (about 96 cm) which would suggest it was made before 1896 when the Kurassier Pallasch blades were shortened. The really interesting thing is the Pommel Nut...

I just pre-ordered one from Amazon. Looking forward to reading it.

Awesome job! Wish my German was a little better

Nice! What units are the French helmets for?

Congratulations! That's a nice one!

Maybe it's because Saxony was behind the Iron Curtain.

Awesome! Congratulations Sander!

Congratulations Sandy!

That's cool!
