Wow!

Very nice display. Lances come up for sale at auction in Germany from time to time (Hermann Historica have had a few in recent years) and boots are relatively easy to find, but original trousers are not so easy to find. Happy New Year Michael

Very nice!

Great Christmas present! Merry Christmas to you too. Michael

Waterloo Militaria (waterloomiltaria.com) have a Coldstream Guards bearskin for sale at the moment if your friend is still looking.

He is wearing a 1915 pattern feldbluse and other rank’s private purchase schirmutze. From the light colour of the cap band and piping (and the 1 on the shoulder strap), I would guess he is now in Train Detachment Nr.1, mid to late WW1.

Thanks Stephen and welcome to the forum. Great photo of your great grandfather. The only difference between his Pickelhaube and mine is the chinscales. His are flat, for foot troops, which, of course, is correct for fussartillerie, whereas mine are rounded for mounted troops- in this case field...

Perfectly put.

Looks like a 1915 pattern feldbluse with added pockets on the chest. I agree that it looks like it was after the war. Michael

Excellent set John. Really nice! Michael
