    Anyone here have the Imperial Navy Rank List?

    Hello gang - I have an item that has come in which requires a resource that I do not have at AGM. If anyone has access to the Imperial Navy rank list, I am looking to see just how many officers of wartime Leutnant zur See rank named "Krieger" there might be. If there is only one, we're golden...

    Mr. Potato Head Guard Pickelhaube

    Hello Pickelhaube friends! Working on cataloging a client's collection, and as pretty as this one is, I don't like it. Out of obligation to the client, though, I thought I should seek a second opinion. I am not finding any unit for which helmet with a Guard eagle would have a fluted spike...

    2020 Show-of-Shows: THANK YOU from the OVMS

    Well, it's over for another year. Speaking for myself, this was one of the most interesting SOS events that I have ever attended, and I have been to all but the first one. There were hiccups, of course - there will always be a few things that go haywire, but all in all, it was quite smooth...

    US M1917 Helmet Pierced for Eye Shield Installation

    I have owned dozens of these over the years, but now that I actually need one; there are none hanging around the office. Looking for a nice condition US M1917 helmet pierced with the holes on the side for mounting an eye shield, good helmet and liner, intact chinstrap even better, and...

    Mess Kit Mystery: Ruritanian?

    OK, I give up and admit defeat. I have beaten my head against the wall long enough, and am seeking guidance from my betters. Does anyone here recognize this pattern mess kit? The name is a clue to an extent, but of course we have seen German names on Russian mess kits, French names on British...

    GOOD NEWS - SOS 2013 will be BIGGER!!

    Posting this on behalf of Bill Combs and the OVMS board. They want to get the word out asap! Personally, I hope to be able to 'expand the empire' by at least 2 tables, but they are going to ration expansions - they want to accommodate as many people as they can who have been waiting for years...
