Is anyone going to SOS this year, and doesn't have a table? Send me a message, as I can use an extra table helper for setup.

Well, this is my last year in my neighborhood, and we have a lot of children now. Some people go all out for Halloween, and I decided to do a "War of the Dead" display on the lawn. Well, this cost about $20 in uniforms, and I made the machine gun.

Milestone Auctions claims this is an Ottoman helmet. Weren't these just for the German military? https://milestoneauctions.hibid.com/lot/166090689/wwi-turkish-m18-combat-visorless-helmet-w-liner?ref=catalog

I am planning to buy an Imperial Russian officer's tunic, but I will need shoulderboards for it. Any ideas?

109 years ago today an ostrich was shot by Archie Duke because he was hungry. At least that is what I heard.

It could be argued that the First World War only truly ended today with the end of the Russian Civil War. Here is a piece I wrote on the different firearms that were used in this most deadly conflict: https://gunmagwarehouse.com/blog/guns-of-the-russian-civil-war/

Well, technically, this is recent finds as opposed to a find. This my new Russian Imperial Army WWI display. The tunic and cap came from the collection of Ron Northrop, a good friend who passed last year. I knew Ron for 20+ years and he will be missed. His collection came up for auction, and...

This was an image that someone shared with me on another forum. It shows Bulgarian officers in Prilep (Macedonia) in 1917. But are the two officers German or Bulgarian? They seem to be German? It is hard to make out the model of helmets. I may be seeing a British-made Wolseley pattern, but is...

I have been wanting to put together a German WWI uniform display. Gus helped me track down most of these items. I have to say, I think it looks rather good!

Brand new computer game that was just released today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2109370/The_Great_War_Western_Front/ I have to say this looks really impressive. It is a strategy game rather than a shooter.

I wanted to extend a very heartfelt thank you to those who brought my father magnets at SOS this year, and who have sent him some in the past. It really has lifted his spirits as he continues his cancer treatment. I wanted to share photos of his collection! He has magnets in his den/office on...
