Brand new computer game that was just released today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2109370/The_Great_War_Western_Front/ I have to say this looks really impressive. It is a strategy game rather than a shooter.

Looks to be Imperial Chinese Army.

I wanted to extend a very heartfelt thank you to those who brought my father magnets at SOS this year, and who have sent him some in the past. It really has lifted his spirits as he continues his cancer treatment. I wanted to share photos of his collection! He has magnets in his den/office on...

I'm very sorry to hear this Kris. If there is anything I can do from America let me know.

FYI... The Atlantic called All Quiet on the Western Front "The Most Overrated Movie of This Oscar Season." Very good read I thought: https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/oscars/the-most-overrated-movie-of-this-oscars-season/ar-AA18kA6z?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=28f0c672702c4ce3aadc22a146373f3a&ei=13

The handband is attached to the helmet via a system similar to the British-designed Vero's Detactable Helmet Liner, which was patented n the 1920s. I've never seen a single helmet from any country that had this type of system to hold the headband in use prior to the 1920s at the earliest. I...

The Russian Adrian, which most of my friends and colleagues believe is correct, was one of my purchases at the show. I was happy to get it!

I packed the "Plunder Mobile" - our Nissan Transit van - on Sunday and we'll roll down to Louisville tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. Easy six hour drive for us.

My wife and I lived in NYC for nearly 20 years. You only have a day and there is way too much to do, but if like hamburgers and milksakes stop at Ellen's Stardust Diner, which is near Times Square. It has a 1950s theme.

Looks like the weather will be 50s that week but with rain. Still better than the ice storm we had back around 2007.

That is logging some serious miles! Have a safe flight(s).

I'll be at show as well, should be G1-4. Look for the Plunderer Pete sign. And I would request that if anyone could bring a tourist refrigerator magnet for my father, who will be at the show this year, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll happily give you a copy of my book and/or donate money to Toys...

I dug through a number of sources, and what we call a "King's Crown" is more accurately the "Tudor Crown," something I knew but never paid attention to in this case. It is based on the actual crown worn by Henry VII and Henry VIII. The English and later British military employed the St...

I checked my books... A History of The Artists Rifles 1859-1947 by Barry Gregory said the Regimental badge was designed by Private J.W. Wyon in 1860. I think you are correct, the helmet is Victorian. I missed this in the book, and upon a much closer inspection I don't think it is King's Crown...

Jolly good!

Very nice helmet. I have one as well. The Artists Rifles were made up of actors, painters, sculptors and other "artists." The unit served as an officer training regiment and later became the Special Air Service. Your helmet and mine are actually Edwardian not Victorian. These have the King's...

We're at the SureStay Plus by Best Western Louisville Airport Expo.
