Wow - that is incredible! Thanks Tony. Bucket list updated...

What a great story and fantastic pictures! That place is on my bucket list...someday. 🤞

Man, if his business really does end with his retirement that would leave quite a crater in the Imperial auction/collecting world.

Right?!

Thanks for the hospitality Steve - we had a great time! I shared some of the pictures I took in this thread: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/a-wonderful-afternoon-at-schloss-mcfarland.20937/ PS: For further proof - the Captain herself and me at the 2025 SOS, after she heroically saved...

We had the great pleasure last weekend of visiting Steve McFarland's home and collection, a virtual temple to the Imperial German Army. A few completely inadequate pictures follow that barely scratch the surface of this extraordinary collection. And Steve himself is a gracious, engaging host...

What a beautiful and unique piece Steve- just gorgeous!

Exactly Steve! And I can confirm. For me personally, it would be more convenient if he managed his auction 2025-style with livestreamed bidding and electronic payment methods (and significantly more pictures). But our friend Mr. Kube has the coolest address I can think of (imagine your...

Thanks for sharing the site Kris - what a rare bird that is!

Gorgeous helmet Steve - and those epaulets are just incredible!

Holy cow Bruno - that's an exceptional helmet in every way! Just beautiful. And I think you maybe buried the lede by labeling this gorgeous FR34 "another one." 😺

Wow - that's just a glorious helmet, Bruno 👍

Please keep me in mind if you see or are selling high-quality, pre-war (or top-notch Feldgrau) Imperial German cloth cavalry headgear . I am happy to look at anything, especially of exceptional quality, but some current key include: Top Wants: Husaren-Regiment von Schill (1.Schlesisches) Nr.4...

Agreed JJ - that was my first thought when seeing this the first time.
