For you rare uniform book collectors, I am putting up for auction a complet set of Feldgrau In Krieg Und Frieden Teil 1, Teil 2 und Teil 3. These books are very rare and probably next to impossible to find in a set. These are the originals, not reprints. I also have some other books related up...

Hello everyone, After making a successful batch of homemade eggnog :drunken: (yes, there is no store brand eggnog in Germany :twisted: ) last night, I finally got around to taking some pictures of my "latest find." This is the last one for this year, and well, its a good one to go out with a...

I have had this one on the "back burner" for a couple months now, I never got around to taking any pictures until now. As you can see its a private purchase Schirmmütze for Braunschweig Husaren Regt. 17 with the enlisted style Totenkopf. It is a little "floppy" and doesn't really photograph so...

What do you guys think about this one? the liner, chinstrap and missing kokarden is a little distracting for me but with the stamps, proper Landwehr wappen and reserve eagle it is interesting. Whats the opinion...

Anyone have some creative ways of displaying Schirmmützen and Tellermütze other than on a mannequin heads? Taking in consideration preserving the cap and visor. Just for everyday display, not for photos.

I wanted to share some pictures with you guys. These picture are from Burg Eltz, located near Koblenz. My wife and I took the two hour trip from Koeln down there and had a great time. There is a treasure museum, two restaurants and a guided tour through the castle rooms. If you plan on going...

So here is another of those complex issues, that of wappen variations. In particular those of EM's GDC and GKR wappens and those little black birds in the middle. I have been looking at reference pictures in books and all over the internet for examples. I decided for the most part they all...

Here is my latest find and my first haube and Krätzchen grouping. Its a Feldgrauer Helm and Krätzchen with camo band both dated 1916 for Württemberg infantry. Both items are in great or unused condition. I thinks thats about it, check out the pictures! chris :)

Anyone have a Reichs kokarde in ok-good condition? Meaning a good amount of paint still on it. Thanks! :D

I am looking for some opinions from all of you on this seller toujours-plus-loin on Ebay.fr. He seems to have a "original" chinstrap(among other helmet parts) every week and they usually look pretty original to me. His feedback is good but offers no returns and his pictures are ok. Have any of...

I wanted to share this "sehr frisch" Infantry Officer helmet with original parade bush and matching spike with all of you. This is a later style helmet as you can see from the shape and style. As far as a rare helmet this one isn't but its condition really really sold me. I wanted to get some...

Anyone having trouble for the last couple of weeks getting on the Emedals website??? I am interested in buying something but the site doesn't come up anymore. :-s

Not exactly my "latest find", I have had this one for a little while but thought I would share it. It is a nice M15 infantry helmet in very good condition. Nothing too special but I like it. Very small sized helmet with tight stitching, hardly worn liner, nice grey fittings and a good depot...

Pardon my lack of French but does this description read "spike is not removable"? If so that would be a problem. Also no regiment markings or corps number. These units wore a parade bush so the spike should be able to come off. Other than that its a nice one...

Check this one out! Just caught this one tonight. This has to be the same Schirmmütze from Ebay.de to Beck Militaria and look at that mark up in the price!!! :o It looks like they switched out the Kokarden to bump up the price! Look at the white piping right above the Reichs Kokarde, it has...

Hello Looking for some help here with these unique markings that we find on Cuirassier helmets. I feel that we have discussed these before but I am having trouble finding those posts. The helmet is marked as being manufactured in 1916 and has regiment mark behind the Prussian kokarde of the...

I picked up this vaulted Iron Cross 1914 over the weekend at a flea market. I don't collect these but for the price I paid and from what looks like a good one(maybe) I went for it. I would love to hear some input on it and its possible originality.

This seller is looking very fishy to me and think he is using to user names in order to offer extremely rare items.... This week he is offering this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/260954853484?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619#ht_3618wt_1285" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and last week this...
