I will have to make one of these European shows one of these days.

The HF Tariff (HTC Number) to Canada and USA for items over 100 years old is HTC 9706.10 Otherwise I do not know what a custom form number is he is referring to, but probably the HTC Code which customs uses to apply duties and taxes.

I believe it was 9500 - 9900 right in there.

Enjoyed reading your story as well Dane. That EK2 to your great Grandfather is something else.

lol what do they say, time flies when your having fun?! Since I was collecting military die cast again and then sold all those tanks and got into die cast aircraft. Sold all those and back home in helmets but not stahlhelm only pickelhaubes this time but this one helmet from Karel.

That display with the book is just simply the best! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My pair arrived yesterday, just picked them up from my UPS store where my parcels go. Haven’t had a chance to flip through them yet but impressed with the quality of the binding and artwork and it’s nice they have the English supplements.
