It may not be so simple, unfortunately. Recent research at Princeton University has shown that the brain can retain long-term memory of an adverse gustative experience. After food poisoning, for instance, a population of neurons in the central amygdala will remain "tagged", albeit asleep, but...

A masterpiece, no doubt.

To match Steve's post, here is the helmet of a OYV in the Garde Train Battalion. All "Kammer" type, but see the quality of plste stamping.

Thank you for the parallel, Philippe, but you noticed I did not announce myself with smoke...

Many thanks for the confirmation, Francis. The meaning remains elusive...

This is indeed exactly what a M15 busby should look like.

No doubt regarding the authenticity of the busby. The wicker frame is exactly as it should be, and the green colour of the lower liner is correct for a M15. What surprised me is the perfect aspect of the fur, as compared with the worn condition of the liner. In addition, or in fact principally...

I noticed that the small eagle perched on the scepter, on the UR13 plate, bears a R - but no F - on its chest. I wondered about the meaning... forum experts probably have an explanation.

Besides the different flaws already listed, and as already mentioned by Planzero, the eagle plate is the most strikingly wrong accessory here. It is far too small, too thick, too rough. The spike base is not correct either. It is also too small, and you never see such a high step lining the...

Thank you so much to you all. This is so heart warming! I disappeared for a while, being overwhelmed by several events, principally my full-time professional relocation in Los Angeles. I even momentarily lost some interest in the hobby, by lack of time and availability... It is actually intact...

Delighted to join, and looking forward to learning a lot from you all on imperial headgear! Bruno

Really, Brian? Still fairly common on the streets, although rarer nowadays since most passers-by are in their telephone.

I think it is a genuine metal Pickelhaube, Sandmann, with the faux bolt heads pressed on the spike basis. What is the black stuff that has been spread on the shell? You are correct regarding condition. Awful.

I agree with you, Steve, this may be the explanation. Do not misunderstand me: I have strictly no doubt about the helmet. Markings are beautiful.

The surprising fact is that ER2 was created in 1890, according to sources. In 1888, only ER1 existed.

Hello meme32, You have already published a number of posts on the forum and, almost invariably, these show pictures of items for sale with the question: "Is it good or not?". We are all happy to help, when we can, fellow members who need information on a particular topic or point of detail...

Greetings from Cal(ifor + edo)nia!

I always enjoy and appreciate your posts, but here, I really have a hard time sharing your opinion! What potential can you see in this wreck? It is extremely difficult to re-shape the thick shell of the enlisted Tschapka. Any heavy intervention would probably damage the finish even more, as it...

We must make it snappy if we want to be in time for the 2023 calendar though!!

Superb idea, Tony. I will try to select a few, which won't be easy since so many are great.
