I had these 2 badge cabinets custom made to hold my badge collection.

As stated in the DougB collection thread, some members were interested in my old Canadian collection so I thought I would post the pics of that here so the Imperial German and Canadian are seperate threads. I really enjoyed putting this collection together, it was a lot of fun and learned a...

I see my furry kid made the photos :LOL: Tony I have a special vault hidden below the floor like in Westminster Abbey, just for you! Hopefully it won't need to be used for another 40 years or so! See you in a few weeks for the 2026 visit! @J.LeBrasseur notice in the pic where I am the...

The fun is in the hunt. But I must say looking at them is fun too! And I doubt I am quite right in the head myself, surely my better half agrees with that lol

He looks just like Matthew McConaughey! My compliments on an outstanding Italian collection from the Great War! The craftsmanship is evident in every piece but the most impressive to me is the bullion work on the headgear. Just wow!

It’s a saying to my lack of self control when I get an idea in this silly brain of mine lol.

Arrived today - a fantastic wartime uberzüg fitted nicely on a correct sized helmet! I love helmet covers and as always Charles is one of the best private sellers I’ve ever dealt with.

Arrived today - my first M15 cuirassier helmet! A nice representative example and as always Charles is one of the best private sellers I’ve ever dealt with.

No worries, I’ll post some other stuff later this weekend. And yes thanks I’ve been fortunate enough to have been able to enjoy a variety of collecting genres over the years. I started collecting Militaria when I was young - 14, but what a 14 year old can buy locally. Mostly beat up things...

Hi Lars I will make a new thread later this weekend then thanks!

I think it looks great! A very nice cross section of helmets and busbies! And yes, space is the bane of collectors. Once space is gone decisions have to be made....:(

There are 4 distinct species of Sabre Tooth tigers on display and one can stare at them for hours, they are so amazing. The big one is a very large Archeotherium, nicknamed Hell Pig when first discovered in the 1800's. But it was no pig, rather the largest mammalian land predator to ever...

Thanks very much John. "Young"? I am in my early sixties, that is ooooooolllllldddddd at least according to my kids. :LOL: I have been fortunate to have set out to create businesses that I could eventually sell and retire early, taking the advice from someone a lot smarter than I...and...

Thanks Daniel, unfortunately some helmets sit behind others and can easily be seen standing in front of the cabinet viewing them but not so easily in photos. Also the very top row is quite high and I also have a second row that is only easily viewable by a 2 step stair I have tucked away in a...

Thanks, yeah this was a fantastic FJ collection, several with direct vet provenance, the top right was part of a massive grouping from the soldiers family. Bill Shea recently sold it, I was tempted to buy it back.

Fantastic display!
