    Luftgekühlt Maschinen Gewehr 08/15

    Very nice photo! In my opinion that's the armory where the photo was taken. As you can see that the LMG is missing it's top cover, feed block, barrel, and rear cover. If you also look at the soldier/airman on the left you can make out an MG-08 barrel cleaning tool hanging from the rack. Here...

    New Busby for my Collection

    Sorry to be the herald of bad news but thought you would prefer the unvarnished truth. While the sealskin covering and what looks to be the wicker body may have a shot at being original the rest of the busby needs to be put out of its misery. Look at the liner. There are obvious joining marks...

    The HH auction 27 Oct.

    Sometimes the family will ask the auctioneers as one of their conditions to put up a bio or blurb about the collector in order to win the rights to buy/auction it. Some collectors like to remain in the shadows. Nothing wrong with it apart from us finding out about them/their collections when...

    Kurrasier! Achtung!

    May I present my feldgrau Officer Schirmmutze and EM Krätzchen for either the GdK or KR 4 regiments. The Krätzchen is from Karel's collection.
