Likewise. Hoping to pay on Monday, but man our country makes international wires a nightmare. And they are rare enough at my local bank that it is always a learning experience for whomever is doing it! 🤞

Nope - solidarity, brother! Yes FedEx is about the most solid shipper right now for us.

Same! I'm guessing that for understandable reasons US shipments are at the back of the line. Wonder if any US bidders received invoices yet? I chare Charles' concern with getting tangled in the Xmas rush. Fingers crossed!

Roger that - thanks Bob. Well, the FedEx part is good as FedEx seems to be able to navigate the current weirdness most effectively, probably because they have a good end-to-end process. I'm hoping no tariffs apply, if they document the pieces properly. 🤞

Huh. I was wondering the same thing, as I have not received anything. Bob: You're in the US too right? I'm wondering if our self-inflicted shipping/importing wackiness is a factor, and US invoices are lagging?

Sold! Thanks friends.

Let's try $2700 - same terms as above. 😺

What a wonderful collection Gord! Would love to see closer shots of the German caps, the one with the yellow band in particular.

That's awesome Bruno! Looks like the style of caricature Simplicissimus was known for. Those are some pompous looking dudes - which I guess is how the French saw them! 😺

Doug, that's about the most beautiful Imperial German helmet I've ever seen! 😺

Indeed! It's not every day the premier IG cavalry museum deaccessions most (if not all) of it's collections - we may never see an auction like it again.

Beautiful officer’s tschako for Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin Jäger-Bataillon No. 14. Mostly minty with an outstanding Mecklenburg field badge and frosty wappen. Small nick in the fabric near the back (see picture), otherwise no mothing or other cloth damage. Silk liner with stamps from a...

Thanks Steve - gorgeous stuff. That cuirass is absolutely magnificent!

I'd bet money that it's a dueling scar - the whole point was the bad-ass visibility this young gent seems so proud of! Dueling: The Cult of Honor in Fin-de-Siècle Germany is a fascinating book on this period phenomenon. What a great image, Bruno!

North of 3600 Euro, after commission...and before shipping. They got some astounding prices, for sure.

I had not heard that before - that's awful.

Brilliant! I always wondered...and now we know. 😺

That's extraordinary Bruno - are the other artifacts his as well? Is the sword blade Damascus?

Best wishes today to our Canadian brethren!

Marvelous collection and top-notch presentation, Doug!
