Sorry Joe, But I'm with the other guys... saying that this is cornflower blue..... if it was dark blue and faded.... the fading is too 'even'..... JMHO based on the pics... Also.... NICE TUNIC :D Cheers M

Hello boys, Check out this auction.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&item=110027608811&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1 now... check out picture #22 in this post.. showing displays at the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin...

Jerry, I don't understand the "sorry no preshow sales" comment......... I would think that it would be in your best interest to sell stuff BEFORE the show.. hence no problems with traveling with them and packing un-packing.... Cash is cash no matter where it comes from. Also.. it would give...

Hey Joe, Yes.. I remember that you were at the Executive last year... and I have stayed there before.... and it is a dive... no question.... I've stayed at the Ex WEST a couple of times.. and it is nice...... and close to the show....... I remember your last post where you said it was sold...

Hey James, Just looked it up... your too far away (to walk).. almost two miles to the Expo center........ Not too late to change :D ... plus you can save $100 ($30 per night for 3 nights)... Cheers Mark

James What's the rate and address... I'll check it out... I am familliar with the Ex West and have been very happy with it before....plus they also pick up and drop off at the airport Since we will be flying.. I wanted to make sure it was close enough to walk. Cheers Mark

Ok boys, I just called the Executive West..... and reserved two rooms... $71 per night. You NEED to say that you are with the Gun Show... and you get the good rate.. If you don't tell them this... they will tell you that the hotel is sold out.... This works out well since it's walking...

So..... Did anyone here get it ?? I expected it to go for more than it did. Cheers Mark

Still now message.. and I confirmed my e-mail address as well... it's correct.

I take by that response that you noticed that my selection was already set to 'yes' :D and Joe..... hum... any idea where I can buy one of those outstanding references ?? :D

hey joe one of my posts dropped... i had a pic posted with it seperated.... so.. where did it go ??? yes.. it looks like that... but i think i have located the helmet.. it's actually a wurt fire helmet that someone took the ball off the spike and put a silver plate on the front... Tell me...

Hello All, I recently picked up a Wurt. Dragoon helmet (I'll post the whole story later). The spike base is strange as I have never seen one before so I thought I would post it. The spike dates from the 1880-1890 due to the style........ and the spike unscrews BELOW the pear ring...... I have...

Well boys Ulan9 was the winner.... along with that horrid wurt generals helmet that he also won... Can't wait to see what they end up becoming ... Cheers Mark

Hey Tony, That link you included was fantastic.... I have saved that for future reference :D And don't worry about your 'rant'... I didn't think it was directed to me.... ... and besides...it wouldn't bother me.. as I wear my stuff around the house... when I'm outside mowing the lawn etc...

Hey Guys, I've spoken with an advanced helmet collector from Germany who has collected and displayed helmets for over 40 years and he actually makes custom fitted styro inserts for all of his helmets.... and has never had a problem. I wonder if the environment variables play a big part in this...

Hey Guys, I had asked for better pics of the helmet and the seller just listed them on the auction. The center star states "RETRORSUM NUNQUAM" which translates to "Never Retreat". I found this on the web.....The Corps Hannovera Göttingen ... so perhaps it's a school 'cap' ???? What are the...

Hello all, I think there had been a little discussion on this before but I would like to open this discussion again. I know some of you guys don't like styrofoam heads etc for display as there were comments about reaction to leather. I've used them for display for 20+ years (mainly for visor...

Perhaps.... You need to watch this guy Zos747 as he is buying a boatload of trashed helmets and parts...... Another Ulan9 in the making..... Cheers Mark

Well.... I sent the buyer an e-mail telling him about the helmet and if he wants more details or pics to let me know... but no response back yet. Cheers Mark

Brian, I agree with you 100%.... anymore it seems that the German dealers (especially Herr Weitze) and the German auction houses that set HUGE opening bids (Thies) are doing nothing but trying to 'raise the bar' on the top end prices. I'm not sure WHO will be able to buy this stuff anymore...
