What a spectacular helmet Bruno-thanks for sharing! 1LKR is high on my want list, and yours is one of the nicest I've ever seen. Congrats on a rare and beautiful bird!

I wish I knew - but for these family-owned little museums or collections, all it takes is one person in the chain of custody who isn't that interested in the history, and thinks to themselves "wait, what did you say we get for all this stuff?" It's a shame though, for sure.

Hoo boy - that's a magnificent beauty Bruno! Can you share more images? (I also like the height and sturdy build of the acrylic stand - can you share where you got it?)

Beautiful helmet Ed - and even better pics (as always)! That's a gorgeous one.

What the...?!?

Hi Randy - I agree with the comments here. Your current approach is fair and the velocity of sales is just a testament to your reputation and excellent prices. I much prefer to know when updates are made on a regular basis that compulsive site watching to hope I accidentally catch something...

What a magnificent helm, Ed! Congrats, and thanks for the beautiful pictures.

Doesn't get much better than that! Congrats Dane - and good on you Doug! 😺

That's an extraordinary image - and gives you some idea of how well-heeled these guys had to be. Head to toe, that's an incredibly expensive outfit for the era (and for collectors now, of course).

Now that is a mitre collection 😺 I doubt there is a better, more extensive group anywhere, Steve. Now add the 1GRzF mitres!

Price drop to $5000 USD, before moving to other venues. 😺

Thanks Bruno. Yes, it's unusual - I've only seen it on the more delicate plates, like the very occasional Württemberg. Hessians can be weird that way too (so many pierced parts of the plate I guess?). I've seen at least a few with three to four screw posts.

What a beauty!

Wow - that's a fantastic image Steve.

Thanks Steve! And our guy is wearing one of these - what's not to like?

As a cloth headgear guy...I cannot agree. 😺

Holy cow Tony - what a display. Someday I hope to get there, but until then thanks for the outstanding set of photos!
