Thanks John, it's amazing how the new iPhone and some creative use of in cabinet lighting can make someone like me look like a good photographer!

At least in this Huis there is no need to buy a ticket to visit and the drinks are on the huis! Thanks for the kind words John, see you soon! Thanks John and just for you here is the old Wall O' Helmets for old times sake!

Thanks very much. I love your avatar! Would love to see more! :love: Thanks Michael, the second display area is the photo with the 2 Ikea cabinets with the Tschako's, Pelzemütze, and miscellaneous pieces. I have some more going in this space soon and will update the photo as it...

Indeed Hans, I had that when I was 14 before my uncle wanted to turn it into a flower pot! Here it is with Karel's beside it, mine is the one on the right with the white barn paint. I took these at the museum here in town. Both have the identical stripe, both are camo overtop of camo...

Wow that is high praise, thank you! This is actually my 2nd go round in Imperial German collecting. I used to have a large but unfocused pickelhaube collection that started about twenty years ago mainly via Roy A and Tony, however I left militaria collecting over a decade ago and auctioned...

Now you know how I feel going through your amazing collection thread Charles! I can study each photo for a long time and when I go back I always see something new! Thanks very much, I hope you recognize your top contribution! ;) Yes indeed, I was fortunate to be able to purchase that...

Thanks for the compliments gentlemen, much appreciated and I am glad you all like the displays! It is in my office and I could spend days on end in here, it never gets boring! @Oldenburg thanks, these MG are seriously a tough find! So many WW2 police tschako's have been "converted" that its...

Thanks Peter, and yes that came from a Kube auction a while back.

Amy, I have an office and a small space in the basement where I am allowed to expand my display. You on the other hand have an aircraft hanger for your vast and incredible collection, and I am always excited to see what you show next! I am sure any aesthetic doctor cannot improve on what...

Thank you all for the kind words! It is nice to see that my OCD for display is appreciated. I think it's part of being a collector lol. It is a pleasure to be part of the community (once again!). I blame Tony for pulling me back in.... Thanks Rob, although I do miss my old wall o'...

lol thx, much appreciated! My jaw dislocates on a regular basis seeing the fantastic pieces posted here or in other collections so I’m glad I’m not the only one!

That’s it for now, I hope you like the displays. As said there’s always something enroute it seems so things change, move, etc. I am expanding my second display area as well and have a lot of accoutrements and epherema not shown, but I’ll add to the thread here and there.

As shown above my display case has drawers for the overflow lol. I’ve got a few helmets with royal provenance, this one I’ve shown in a different thread earlier.

An older photo with a later GdK helmet in the middle of the Life Guards Tzar/Tzarina helmets. The GdK helmet is now on a küraß. These vitrine photos are a bit older so helmets may have changed / moved / added since I took these Here’s the lovely French Dragoner helmet. I just had...

(Missing the feldzeichen on the GdMG, thanks to James one is enroute) Yes a French Dragoner helmet!

Here is the collection at the moment I’ve been meaning to post, although there are a few pieces enroute so I guess I can always add them later. Was night so the pics look a little on the darker side but I like the look. I hope you enjoy.
