Chimay Blue is 10.5 I believe, one of the classic Belgian Trappist strong ales.

You bet, I just sent you a PM with my email, look at the envelope icon beside your login name up at the top right.

Hi Mike, I thought that SS Pz Officer overseas cap was my old one! Bill bought many of my old SS helmets and am curious if this is one of my old helmets as well! Always good to see my old pieces and in a Canadian collection as well, that’s great! My compliments on your collection!

Nice! Any chance to get a closeup of the SS helmet / decal? That’s my old stomping grounds. Did you get the SS Panzer Officer overseas cap from Shea by chance? I’m from Edmonton so we are pretty close!

Always time to enjoy a nice Chimay Red!

High bid was 8500 US (that I saw) and did not meet the reserve.

Haha tell me about it. I waited 5 months for the items I purchased from the recent Vornholz Kavellerie Museum auction at Hermann Historica! Have plenty of horror stories of items lost but then found weeks later including one $25,000 SS helmet from Belgium that was saved only because of my...

I’ve owned several of these over the years and would not purchase the one in question.

Amy owns most of them I’d bet!

Very smart looking ensemble, my compliments!

I wish I had the time to visit this museum when I was in St.Petersburg a few years ago. It looks fantastic.

What a beauty!! My compliments!

The beaver to muskrat pelt rate is quite favourable right now.

Been to this museum several times, the first was about 40 years ago! Fun story about it, I was visiting Europe with my friend and we had a mutual friend from Canada who is Belgian and whose dad lived in Brussels he was visiting when we were there. We went to this museum but it was closed...

Thanks Bob, I use torsos from a company here in western Canada called Eddies. I have seen the same ones for sale online in US retail display stores. https://www.eddies.com/products/male-shirt-form-black-torso-adjustable-tall-wooden-base-dressmaker-mannequin?variant=46173114171625 They...

These are the helmet stands my friend customizes for anyone wondering what I was referring to. He just finished these today modifying the toppers the forms come with. The helmets then sit at proper head height and are stable / cannot fall off the torso forms if accidentally bumped. They are...

Hey Dane that’s fantastic! I used to be a part of a group here in our city called Living History where we’d go into schools and talk history with real artifacts from the era we were discussing. I was always booked every year for several schools and discussed WW1 and 2. Great job and if you...

Yes same, Fedex just charges my account but as you say not the cheapest option but effective and fairly bulletproof.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, @Gunner who? I will put a thread together in the Collections forum once I get these displays fully complete. I am getting the helmet stands for the forms made and they should be ready next week. I would like to show the rest of the helmets I have in my...

Thank you for all the kind words. I set up the LKR1 and GKR NCO’s ensembles and the GdK Colonel Koller today. All went well until the leather belt on the black GdK parade cuirass snapped at a buckle hole that had leather rot. I’ll leave it as is for now, not much else I can do. Otherwise...
