A fantastic find, Gabe! Congratulations! Best Wishes, Alan

I recently acquired this nice Prussian M15 Tschapka with the parade Rabatte. The chinstrap is a copy/replica. I found it in the antique shop, along with the Prussian M95 Guard enlisted pattern pickelhaube. No extra holes, and the original metal grommet rings are intact. 1915 dated, and maker...

I found this a couple of days ago in an antique shop. I also purchased a M15 Prussian Ulan Tschapka with a yellow rabatte, from the same source, which I will post in a separate thread. I'm guessing that this is a private purchase "extra" helmet, since the underside of the back visor has the...

My sincere condolences to Steve's family. And the collector field has lost a giant with the depth of his knowledge and collection, and his willingness to graciously share with us.

I just returned from the 100-table Leavenworth, Kansas show, and did very well there once again. I actually met several customers that were at the SOS last week, and sold several things to them. The nice one-day show was busy all morning, with people coming in steady. My sale table was right...

It was the best show for selling for me also, that I have ever had. Yes, the Europeans were there and buying a lot.

I set up for about the last hour, after looking around quickly first after getting everything hauled in. I'm at P-58 Looking forward to Thursday full day. Best Wishes, Alan

Thanks to everyone for their nice comments, I appreciate it! Best Wishes, Alan

I haven't found a nice 2-Place Medal Bar for quite some time. I recently acquired this nice-looking pair. Albert Order Knight's Cross 1st Class with Swords + Iron Cross 2nd Class. The reverse has a nice Gustav Uhlig label. Gustav Uhlig was a well-known tailor and purveyor of orders and...

My oldest friend just called me a moment ago. He gave me the updated weather and snow forecast for Louisville: Up to 20" of snowfall is now predicted for Saturday and Sunday. Oh my gosh! That will be a mess!

My oldest friend told me last night that he saw Louisville is supposed to get up to 16" of snow this Saturday, the 24th. The friends we stay with in northern Indianapolis on Tuesday night have said they are expecting 6" of snow.

I'm wondering as well, Peter, as it's likely there will be parking charged to get into the area, since that huge sports show will be going on Wednesday. When the S.O.S. has traditionally been held during February, there hasn't been anything else going on when we get our packets on Wednesday...

The packet pickup is going to be inside the back load in area. I have no idea if they'll let us stand in line indoors in that area or not. So yes, hopefully we won't be standing in line outdoors for 3 1/2 hours, like what I did indoors last year in the hallway.

I forgot to add the map. Here it is.

Hi Rob, Your PM didn't come through to me. Thanks, Alan
