Fantastic! Fantastic! Easy for the production to order the Pelzmütze Attila etc. from any tailor. What a great surprise thread!

Don’t forget Train in Mounted Troops!

So nice to see a photo of you Thierry. I thought you’d be taller.

Bob look how the buttons start wide, then angle inward as they go down. With stirrups for Epauletten. A pre-1900 Officer’s Überrock.

That is interesting. He’s full-on Chevaulegers, with Bayern M10 Feldrock and mounted Troops belt with hanger. Is it possible he has been attached out to the 11th infantry division for HQ guard duty? Or whatever else do you do with cavalry troops during trench warfare? A small gift from me, a...

That is a wonderful helmet Thierry, and I cannot think of a better place for it to be. I started out reading your helmet posting with excitement, and then when I read your horrible injury, I was curling my toes with eyes shut! Ow ow!!

Best wishes to you Dane on your journey. I loved basic training, and couldn’t believe they were paying me to do it. Here’s a toast to you.

Whoops! Here’s one.

The candle of a dog burns too fast. Thank you for the memory. Now we have Elle, who likes to lay on my neck and face…

It’s stunning isn’t it? All of Steve’s Husaren collection is still out there. I was privileged to visit and see the Leib-Husaren and HR17 furry hats. These are great photos!

That’s an M15 Dragoner spike yes?

This beautiful helmet in post #7 is not a reproduction in my opinion. Helmets, headgear, everything were made as Verien (associations). They look perfect as they were made in the 1920-1930s by German manufacturers. But different. One helmet that’s identical is the helmet of the husband Ernst...

Fantastic! Your photos and descriptions are excellent references.

Rob I know exactly nothing about UK Lancers helmets. Actually less than nothing. Would this be a good example to have, as I only want one representative Lancer helmet, so I would like to have to be a complete one. So it’s missing nothing? If yes, then I would like to purchase that please. The...

Test. Which is actually an excuse to put up my sidekick Zoë like Peter did.

Hang on, let’s be kind. Many of us, me included, used to clean helmets. My site used to have a cleaning section, before I removed it. Restorations are very common on this Forum. I believe this person on YouTube is well meaning, but possibly not as experienced as we ancient collectors are with...

A YMCA volunteer!

Your 1843/60 Kürassier is here in Canada. I had my good friend in Germany buy it from you. Then, I wired my friend the € and he forwarded the Metalhelm to me. That worked very well.
