By the way this is my metal helmet cavalry shelf with two tellermutzes and two schirmmutzen of the GDC, and the garde kurrassier regiment

That is interesting, enlisted men generally wore tellermutze (dunkelblau period), or kratchen ( later, feldgrau period) but they could also wear schirmmutzen without officer kokarde, so maybe it is fritz schluter and someone changed the kokardes later on? ( they seem period to the mutze),

I have the same question about this mutze, ponceau red with white piping, thus regular kurassier or Gdc ?

I posted an illustration of the shako in which another headgear item of the mountain troops is displayed, a ski cap very similar in design to the KUK kappe, must be extremely rare as only produced short time for limited number of units and probably used post war, I once saw one for sale on...

wow, I like those adrians with east european weapons / emblems

I'm not sure of this, but when I bought this JzP officer helmet from a very trusted dealer some years ago he said this one was special because the chinscales where blackened thus belonging to the sole regiment with that feature, at that moment, I was just very happy to score a JzP officer and...

Really nice

You said not much info available, I found this in an Osprey book: On the illustration is the shako, but also the special fieldcap for gebirgstruppen that is very hard to find

What a beautiful and rare piece, looking for one of those for a long time, So when selling let me know I think Erwin Rommel the famous desert fox served in that regiment as an officer during World War I and was very successful ( I think at Carporetto), (as my memory is correct, no Time to...

I did jump but few minutes too late

Tragic story….

I also like the ‘chateau de l’empiri’ in the Provence and I earlier promoted the museum at Meaux, Also the heeresgschichliges museum in Vienna is stunning!!! Should the topic of museums not be ‘awarded’ with a special place on the forum site? Thus like other topics photos and enthousiast...

Some more pictures of the Musées de la guerre et paix at novion porcien (Ardennes), beautiful collection uniforms, armes, tanks vehicles, but also some very well build dioramas

We discussed this museum before, it is one of my favourite museums

But tanks is generally considered modern cavalry, is it not the same museum? I also would like to visit it as cavalry is my favourite topic in militaria ( in Holland there is also a small cavalry museum covering both horses and tanks in the city of Amersfoort, nice but not very spectacular)

hohenfriedberg!, nice catch!!

Yes it is I think but that is another tschapka, and that is why there’s no response to it, AOK had two Württemberg tschapkas with paraderabatte and you showed the other one ( officer), Both are beautiful, I think both have/ had a correct price, the Rabat just doubles the value , and fangschnur...

today when I visited the ageofkings website I saw they sold this beauty must have gone quickly because I check that website regularly and did not see it for sale named with all attributes , most of all the parade rabatte, does anyone know what the price was?
