Part of my Württemberg ulan set is this stahlrohrlanze ( marked UR19, so not perfect with the rest) but difficult to find and even more difficult to ship, ( one of the forum members was so kind to send me a tip when I was looking for one at the time)

you asked for fieldgrey ulan uniforms, this is my UR20 ,

What a beautiful collection , both German and British/ Canadian pieces are wonderful, like especially the Scots!!

thank you very much for this link to the version of the green fields of france, it is beautiful!! brings back good memories! It has been one of my favorite songs since my childhood (being 54 years old now that has been a while) I've been interested in military history since I was a child, and...

Thank you for those updates! As I’m involved in a building project I am not bidding, but very much interested nonetheless!!

some more impressions

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...

Ik like it a lot, and once posted about it, It was my first reference book when a student (25++ years ago) , overview of all belingerant countries with info concerning types of headgear, Beautiful drawings, but for experienced collectors no valuable information I will always treasure my copy

Those helmets with original personalised souvenirs are my favourite, congrats, great catch

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...
