I was an 11B of course, you can't be a German military history fanatic without experiencing the life and trials of an Infanteyman.

I haven't been on this forum since before I joined the Army in 2009, haubes and history of the German Army were a big part of my life before I joined. Since I've gotten out I haven't thought or looked at my collection until the first time a few days ago, I've been collecting original Oberndorf...

I am looking for an original shoulder stock, holster, and magazines. I have checked gunbroker and have found only reproductions. All help will be much appreciated.

My knowledge of the Garde Du Corps kurass ends at 1814. This looks like the same pattern but lacks the holes for the Napoleonic "N" as they were captured from the karabiners. Best Regards. http://www.cowanauctions.com/upcoming_dates_view_item.asp?ItemId=58864

Thank you gentlemen for posting such an informative article. As a youngin' I do appreciate when the more knowledgeable spread their academic wealth. The storm trooper tactics has been on my Amazon list for sometime, After this insightful thread I think it is high time to acquire the book...

Model 1814 Prussian Garde Du Corps Kurass (captured from Napoleons Carabiniere's no less) que the dancing penguins! If you are referring to the Wurtt lances, then good luck those are some beauties, they would complete one heck of a display. [/img]

Thats the one I was looking for I thought it was portpee.de! I was only missing one "e". Thanks again.

On my old comp before it crashed I had to my favorites a German website that was run my a lady and sold Imperial German photos. I cant think of the URl for the life of me so if anyone could help me track it down I would greatly appreciate it. Best Regards.

Ha, No there is no way. I am the cheapest sod alive. I will guiltily admit that they due pay for books and all the other parental duties (I am truly blessed) Sadly for me that all ends for me this June the big bad scary world is approaching fast, I hope I do not have to say goodbye to the...

I have been collecting for a very long time. I found two Iron crosses and an Austrian trench lighter as well as various weapons from the 1800's that belonged to my family and sense finding that I was hooked. I was very lucky to have a high paying job working very long days and my collection...

do you or have you ever fired the needle gun? Is that 11 or 14 caliber. It must kick like a juiced up mule.

The adrian is the first modern combat helmet eh! that is a bold statement! What is the criteria for being a modern combat helmet. If it is mass produced, uniform, protective headgear, I take it that it leaves the thousands of years of helmet evolution before that i.e Roman legionaries, or even...

That Swedish haube is nice how similar is it to its German counter part? Lots of good finds under one roof!

Here is a M16 Garde helmet, has the eblem, to what unit I can not tell, But has been painted over to serve as a fire helmet, even with the fire lining. Do you think that the paint can be removed and the be restored to its former glory? [/img]

I am trying to collect info on Landwehr and Landsturm caps from the early 19th century. Please refer me to any resources and or examples. Thank you.

Wow that must be a thrill when you find a cache like that. Looks like you have one heck of a restoration project ahead of you!. What do you do with the leather and the brass fittings?

I hope you get their safe and sound. And Ill see you in Louisville!

Thank you for the info, with the holiday I do not believe I will be able to get the book in time but I will track you down at the show and glance at yours. 600 usd does not seem too bad I expected something around 800 for a piece of field gear. However I would sure love to purchase them at 400...
