    K R collection Helmets and uniforms

    Neat story. Reminds me of the RAF Pilots who would apparently undo their top button if they had shot down an enemy aircraft that day during WW2. Not sure if it is true or an "urban legend".

    Thanks. Do you think it is supposed to be an Infantry helmet? I kind of like it except for those two strange ridges at the top back beside the spine.

    I did it again, another Adrian helmet is in my collection as of now, a scarce Zouave variant.

    It's really hard to admit to ourselves that we are not the youngsters we used to be. As an ex Paratrooper every time I watch the jump scene in A Bridge Too Far I wish I could go do another military jump with full kit.

    Having trouble identifying exactly what this is.

    Somebody like Brian or our Polish experts would figure out a way to put a piece of leather in that slot and fix it and you would never know.....

    The Kaiser class ocean liners

    Slightly off topic, but speaking of the Kronprinz, I could not resist this wooden postcard of him. It is very very thin and I am amazed that it survived in such good condition. And if anyone is interested in the small picture it was another I could not resists. A small Prussian girl being...
