What a terrible news, a great collector, ‘he had them all ‘ will be missed

one of my favorite uniforms in my collection is my feldgrau wurttenberg UR20 ulanka tschapka lance and sword today I finished the model of a UR20 lancer and a prussian lancer both in 54 mm scale

Thank you for the Photo's! that Hanoverian UR14 Tschapka is a killer! (made a detail picture of your bigger photo to show what I mean) It has the rabatte in that special pinkish colour though seems less bright pink than the one Steve earlier showed on this forumfrom his own collection, It...

thank you very much, I think that display of a trench is very impressive and a bit strange, never saw such a thing on a show, seems more appropriate for a museum, but nice display anyhow!

congratulations!, very nice!, is that the prussian general federbusch for sale on the website of age of kings?

I do consider myself very fortunate to live close to the battlefields, and I visit them very often

hooge krater, flanders fields, and the passchendaele museum were closed last weekend for the winter closure, flanders fields reopens next week, hooge krater in february, paschendael forgot details so check before departure, ...

dear Pickelhaube community, I visited Ypres today again , but alas, alle musea were closed, but could of course visit a lot of graveyards and monuments Being in the flanders fields museum shop at the tourist info I saw again the files on first world war headgear published by the museum in small...

What a beautiful schirmmutze, I have seen them before but never with that beautiful bright blue verstoss, looks like reused cavalry mutze, my example has dark blue verstoss and red piping as is logic for sanitary service as far as I know, ( artz offizier also that combination), but to be...

Sorry for the confusion, by giving tumps up I just like to show that I like any post on the 92 regiment, not a statement that I think it is good, as I don’t know enough about these specific helmets ( we all want them, but I don’t, have one), so I don’t know

I do like the 1867 model with bigger mortar board very much and they are much harder to find as they served in the francoprussian war it is another era, but indeed less sought after,I’m happy to own both models. if have one in less then perfect condition, but look at the details in the wappen ...

It might be due to te resolution of the photo,s but I don’t like that wappen, it misses fine details

I really miss a photo of the complete helmet, and more detailed pictures of the wappen would be nice, but I also think this is a authentic Tschapka, and the fact it has the Fangschnur parade plume and parade rabatte is very nice! It is extremely cheap

what a beautiful cap! congrats

although not yet 12 o clock they had this fireworks in the alps les trois vallees where we are having a skiing holiday, best wishes

Our better halves… hilarious and very accurate as a description

Nice! At the moment After buying a beautiful cavalry helmet I’m a bit low on budget, as I am a medical professional myself I would have been interested otherwise,

Tony, you are right, behind glass with illumination things look better, all my woolen mutzen and other uniforms are behind glass in showcases foremost to keep them save from moths and other insects, secondly but of less importance because they look smart that way

as this thread receives quite a lot of positive remarks, I would like to elaborate on some detaisl 1: this is the showcase on the first floor, a standard black metal cupboard custom remade with addition of glass shelf, removal of another metal shelf and addition of lights strips, (as will be...

yes leather parts are all original and intact
