Very beautiful pattern indeed. I like the Black lines which are somewhat rounded and thicker at the "intersections". Also always a nice detail when the vent holes are plugged imo.

Two great helmets with tons of character! Congratulations

The last time I checked we're all humans with our normal human behaviours. To a certain degree everyone likes buying or having stuff. A nice car, a room filled with clothes of which half you barely wear, a home with a garden and room for a pony, a wife, a motorcycle or an attic filled with...

Thanks Sander. It indeed still has vivid colors. And no interference with moths over the years thankfully. :)

And here the cuirass. Nicely marked. Back plate 1875, front plate 1869. The helmet I bought last year. The berthier musqueton I've had for over 10 years I think. This is a modell 1892 made in 1894. All numbers matching including bolt and stock and with original sling. Note that there is a rare...

Here some pieces I was able to acquire at the auction last weekend. I know our fellow member "stuka f" sold a lot of the listed items but I'm not sure they were all part of his big collection. On saturday it was all French stuff and on sunday German (and some British and US too). I was only...

Having a day off and while the baby is taking a nap. :cool:

It's mind boggling that you can forget you have double the amount of helmets than you thought you had. :LOL: Amazing helmets anyway. It would make an amazing museum I'm sure.

I indeed bought the cuirass and also a French tunic (1+1=2 you would think) but it's not the cuirassier tunic unfortunately. :( I had the highest bid on a nice képi M1884 (which I had been looking for for quite some time) and their was a tunic of the same regiment which I was able to buy as well.

You should receive an invoice shortly. On the last page there's info about payment, shipping and collecting the items in person in both english and french. Here my box of goodies. I'll post them shortly when I have them set up.

If it would have been in Europe, I'd bought it from you. It's a nice looking helmet with a fair price.

Anyone here bought something? I bid on 2 Hauben upfront cause I did not had time today but did not got them. Luckily yesterday I was able to be at the auction in person and bought the pieces I wanted the most and already have them at home. So I'm a happy man. :)

Those Italian helmets look amazing. Must be very rare I assume.

Are there other dukedoms/kingdoms with only 1 regiment? And can they all be considered just as rare or are there differences among them?

Love it. A Stahlblech Sachsen Artillerie. Great purchase!

That was a great price indeed!

Extraordinary! What an amazing pieces you've brought together. And it looks brand New.:oops:

Marvellous helmet. It has a great look, the markings are great and the condition leaves nothing to be desired!

I'm glad that the helmet arrived at your house Coert and that you're happy with the purchase. (y) It's a great looking display and a nice idea to put every state and kingdom next to each other. :)

Do I see it correct that these will be auctioned in Belgium? Would be nice if it could be picked up un person. Shipment is quite costly with these action houses.
