Not as impressive, but I always was fascinated by prehistoric times, trilobites and ammonites, looking a those beautiful creatures you are looking hundreds of millions back in time, the dinosaurs are recent creatures in comparison, so have some of those too

Did you not show some prehistoric skeleton once? A sabletooth tiger skull? Or was that someone else? Anyway though it was impressive

I never visited the Vornholz museum, but I know people who did and they told me the collection is / was amazing, both dunked blau and feldgrau. And being a great fan of german imperial cavalry , I agree that the offered items are " high end" indeed!, and I wondered before (like Bobted) if...

I visited targette few years ago, very old school in a nice way, small door, and ticked counter, in plywood, nothing professional, and got the impression only few people visit it, because I was alone in the building , they even had to switch on the lights for me, (but maybe I was in low season?)...

I once heard that the reason the Friese collection is stil intact and open to the public is related to a specific French law, if a collection is really great, the French government can declare it of national interest, although private its parts can de sold but may not leave the country, thus...

thanks for sharing these photos! A lot of forum members don’t like the new way these are displayed in the fortress, they liked the old style better, I don’t agree ( I did visit the museum both before and after the renovation, the old wooden cupboards don’t match up to these new showcases with...

yesterday I visited (once again), the beautiful and impressive monument en memorial on vimy ridge, This spot is one of my favorites on the western front, Living in the low countries I'm in a privileged position to visit regularly spots on the front because they are relatively nearby. (as I...

Very nice! I very pleased this subject ( musea and battlefields) was added to the forum!! Well done, thanks

I do agree on your risk taking attitude, remark , as long as the value is below 1000 euros I would definitely choose aiming for low value attribution to avoid high customs, because if lost it is a real nuisance but not the end of the world, but for much more pricey objects or unique objects I...

Dear Alan, As I purchased several objects from you and Brian calkins, I can confirm this, happy about handling every time, we repeatedly succeeded in low custom cost shipping, but is is not stressfree… But stating a low value for shipment can be risky, it went well every time, but what if a...

dear Gino, as I try to collect all countries of ww1 I have some more Belgian stuff ,(I'm Dutch but I lived in Belgium for 12 years to study and specialise, and feeling very connected to it we still have a house in the ardennes up to this day. the Belgian shako on the left might be a...

Today I visited the fortress of Eben Emael with my 12 year old son Fort Eben-Emael was built between 1932 and 1935 and was one of the largest and strongest fortifications in Europe, very strategic positioned on a height near the Dutch Belgian border, close to Germany, and surveilling three...

today, at the museum of " EBEN EMAEL" in Belgium, I collected my recently bought IR115 from Tony V , that was discussed recently on this forum, having it in hand it is a beauty, it is an example from mainz 1915 as discussed on the forum as tony already posted detailed photographs I just will...

Wow,what a cool museum, this message came just too late, visited the Pyrenees region Lourdes two weeks ago, would surely made the detour if I had known, …

Very beautiful collection, and love the mutze, a kratchen or mutze with Karpaten insignia is on my wishlist ( along with a lot of other things….)

Very beautiful, very much like the schirmmutze with Karpaten sign, has pink verstoss? What is it exactly?

I very much agree, what an astonishing collection, superb, amazing, I’ve been collecting now for over 25 years, but results are very modest in comparison to Steve, maybe I missed the golden years full of opportunities, maybe I just miss the resources needed, ( my wife thinks the collection is...
