Folks, May I present to you a very interesting and rather rare grouping. The rarity comes primarily from the waffenrock. This was the only regiment permitted to use a different facing color on it's waffenrock. You will note that facing color on the 6th Kurrasiers Koller is blue. The regiment...

Thank you very much for the kind words gentlemen! Shout out to Tony for making me up my game on picture taking and framing!!! Bruno: It is an unmarked example. I did not add the photo of the interior (Whoops) but it is a squared tongue leather liner which would be correct for a Private Purchase...

Whoa Steve!!!! I would have never believed it existed had you not shown us! Thank you! I thought it was just a fairy tale! You hit the jackpot with that helmet! John

Andreas, Everyone here is more than happy to share their knowledge with you but it is also a little like school in that we want people to learn about pickelhaubes. When I began collecting I didn't know much and you are correct that books can't teach you every thing but they are a start. The...

Hello All, Changing the pace a little from cavalry groupings may I present my GzF NCO grouping with the Coffee Filter mitre. (The troops joked that the mitre resembled an upside down coffee filter.) I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this very nice waffenrock once belonged to...
