There is a new show in Germany being organized for the last weekend in March 2024. It's a collaborative effort between Helmut Weitze and Krey (who used to run the Waffenbörse Kassel shows).

It's my favorite city, have been there several times, and will soon again visit. So, just curious if any members live there.

Always seeking M1860 Pickelhauben, especially dated and unit marked.

Seeking the following from that era: - Uniforms and headgear - Field gear, firearms, swords, and bayonets - Photos and military passes - 1870 EKs (both 2nd and 1st classes), and medal bars I also collect select similar items for the entire 19th Century, with a focus on Prussia. A sample of the...

Seeking M1860 (or earlier) Pickelhauben/ Tschakos, etc. Prefer unit marked and dated, and those worn during the 1864, 1866, and 1870/ 71 wars.

I am hoping to find a large small hole Prussian cockade for a M1857 Kürassierhelm, and a standard one for a M1915 Pickelhaube. Thanks!

Seeking field gear, swords, uniforms, bayonets, Needle Gun assessories, photos, battlefield relics, etc.

I discovered an interesting lot of these pouches from a gentleman who picked them up around 1962 from Bannerman's and kept them in his barn until recently. He had one on a table at a show a few months back and after I bought it I asked what else he had and he had two more under his table. At...

Sorry for the novice question, but are uniforms available for the 1864/ 1866/ 1871 wars?

Picked up some repro M62 accessories at the Kassel Show. Dummy rounds, muzzle/ sight protector, and needle. The seller was trying to convince me to take out the original needle and shoot that thing!!! Not sure if the needle pin holder is a copy of an era original though.

Could someone help me out with the identification of this unit? 3rd Bavarian Foot Artillery Regiment? 2nd Batterie? This one, as well as the other markings, has me stumped.
