Exactly Steve! And I can confirm. For me personally, it would be more convenient if he managed his auction 2025-style with livestreamed bidding and electronic payment methods (and significantly more pictures). But our friend Mr. Kube has the coolest address I can think of (imagine your...

Those are uniformly outstanding Mike! Your photo collages are just beautiful - some spectacular pairs.

Looks fantastic Brian!

Hi Steve - here you go. The points I noticed were the high spike base, the formidable Anhalt star that covers much of the eagle, and the general condition. Sourced from our AoK friends, so maybe that's the connection? Thanks for the extremely detailed info, as always!

Steve - do you what became of Walter E. Hartmann's collection? Just found a nice copy of this book (which for some reason I didn't already have in my library), and I am pretty sure I have the Anhalt IR93 shown on page 30. Would love to know more.

Thanks for sharing the site Kris - what a rare bird that is!

Gorgeous helmet Steve - and those epaulets are just incredible!

Holy cow Bruno - that's an exceptional helmet in every way! Just beautiful. And I think you maybe buried the lede by labeling this gorgeous FR34 "another one." 😺

Wow that's fantastic - thanks Sandy!

100%. Nice find - a beautiful example!

Wow - that's just a glorious helmet, Bruno 👍

Please keep me in mind if you see or are selling high-quality, pre-war (or top-notch Feldgrau) Imperial German cloth cavalry headgear . I am happy to look at anything, especially of exceptional quality, but some current key include: Top Wants: Husaren-Regiment von Schill (1.Schlesisches) Nr.4...

Agreed JJ - that was my first thought when seeing this the first time.

Greetings gents - I posted the JPGs of the plates in this thread under Reference Books: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/die-grauen-felduniformen-der-deutschen-armee-1914.20708/ As mentioned there, if anyone wants the much more massive PDF files just send me an email address via PM and...

Following up on a thread posted elsewhere on the site, attached are JPG scans of the eight plates in the 1984 reprint of this useful little Moritz Ruhl work. * I can send much heftier PDF files (@20 MB per page) if interested - just PM an email address.

Interesting - this was an old Moritz Ruhl publication that was re-published in a small folio edition as a series of eight plates a few decades ago. I have it, and can probably scan the whole thing as high-res PDFs if there is interest.

Beautifully displayed and photographed Mike - those are just incredible!

Oof - sorry to hear (and see) that Dane. Sadly, it happens now and again, as these old pieces of history go whisking all over the planet. But it's always gut-wrenching when an irreplaceable piece of the past is lost or broken.

Happy (Belated) Canada Day to our inspirational northern friends and allies! 🇨🇦

Senior NCOs would often wear officer cockades - lots of photographic evidence of that. So maybe he had advanced as an NCO?
