It moves! It breathes! G'day everyone! My wife and I moved from Vancouver, BC to one of Canada's nicer slices of Paradise known as Duncan, BC. Hence, collecting etc have been on hold. Now, back at it! My question relates to the Leibgendarmerie helmet and its service spike: From the...

G'day Guys, Long time no post! Gus, bless your pointed head! I'm still here, just caught up in other things for the present. I spotted this Shako on Ebay.com and wondered about it. The fact that everybody stayed away from it speaks volumes...

Hello everyone, Here is a very handsome looking piece that deserves some guarded interest: http://cgi.ebay.de/Tschapka-1-Garde-Ulanen-Regiment_W0QQitemZ6282528691 My own observations: - The wappen is secured by hex nuts - not good. - The rosettes look like steel, so does the visor trim...
