Holy Nutcracker are those hard to find. Like chicken lips. Good for you!

But interesting to learn yes? Les hussards allemands et lours colback - Montant, ILhat, Jousset, p.44

All true. A small addition if I may? Only Eigetumsstück Leib-Husaren Totenkopf have prongs that bend inside. Kammerstück Leib-Husaren Totenkopf have prongs that do not bend and do not penetrate the Pelzmütze.

Thierry I agree with all your comments. The two Totenkopf you show, are you are showing replicas? Or originals?

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...

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...
