My latest find is a series of 5 drawings that I got for my birthday from my three Daughters. It consists of a series of drawings made by a french soldier during the war. I like them very much, (got them few months ago, but put them in frames today). As I'm collecting militaria, foremost...

today was the fair in Ciney, I did not buy anything, but I would like to share a few pics of items that were there

recently I acquiered this Sachsen Well marked UR17 EM tschapka, it was very affordable, maybe because nobody liked the chin scales that are obviously much too long. It is marked 17U.. 1896, (witch is correct for Sachsen) being it dated 1896 I think it should have Knopf91 instead of the older...

today I received something I bought some weeks ago, It is a book with 24 prints of scetches (" croquis") made by a French war artist during the great war, " in the English lines", printed and disributed by the French War office during the war. the book is printed and signed in a limited...

My latest find is a "rare beast" as it was called by another forum member in earlier post. It is the pickelhaube of a reserve officer of the second battalion of the (96 th regiment) Reuss the wappen was only attributed to one battalion thus very scarce, it is surprising that this helmet was...

last Year my militaria project was this Set of Ulanen Regiment 20 (Wurrtenberg). A couple of years ago (2016) I purchased the Tschapka (well marked with kammerstempel) In 2021 I found the correct Feldzeichen (on Ebay), see earlier post. In feb 2022 I purchased the Ulanka with leather Cavalry...

some years ago I bought this Austrian WW1 helmet shell with a decal, and an ornament on the other side. (no liner) It looks old, but might be a fake, anyway it looks beautiful and convincing to me, (it wasn't expensive, and I like it a lot, whether it's original or not, so going to keep it...

last weekend in Ciney (Belgium) I found my latest find: a 7th uhlan Tschapka, (and a sword fo the 20th UR to accompany my well marked UR 20 ulanka and tschapka I already possessed). for a preview see under show news, hope to show more pictures of the sword and " convolute" in a few days)...

I bought this kepi, medicine commandant I think, I saw the threads about the medical collections recently and liked it very much, congratulations for those collections! being a medical doctor myself I was always fond of medical stuff, I collect headgear from ww1 from al countries, so I posses...

tellermutze Ulanen regiment Hannover 13, I bought this one because I also have the pickelhaube , so I like the combination, overall condition is quit good but the lower egde lost its blue cloth (I would like to try to restorate it with blue cloth) and it is very much out of shape... so rare...

I found this M15 with it's uberzug, seems to have always been together, inside is the inscription Gent Universiteit 1916.

I recently acquired a couple of items, some in less condition but nevertheless interesting, to start with a Bayern Reserve Officer Pickelhaube in silver (so either infanterie leib regiment, or pionier, or eisenbahn), the condition of the leather is not fantastic, and it has a little sunk in...

I recently purchased a württemberg Feldzeichen for my tschapka (which I bought a coupe of years ago), (it had a defect on top, (moth-holes) which I restored with a small piece of black tissue), you can't be too strict looking for an authentic württemberg feldzeichen they are scarce, when I...

my latest find is a french poster. I post it with 3 other war bond posters because I like them very much. The latest find is a war bond poster from banque de province. (which is beautiful, and slighly atypical because the " poilu" is in a non heroic pose, and looking rather clumsy. One of the...

a few weeks ago at Ciney (Belgium) I found quite a few objects I really like: a unteroffizier Prussian Fanschnur for a Tschapka (to complete my Hannoverian unteroffizier), an uberzug, and a M1867 Prussian Tschapka, The latter was really a bargain in my opinion, it cost only 450 euro's (I love...

I would like to share my latest find. the officer Pickelhaube of the 92 regiment, in my opinion definitely the most beautiful pickelhaube to be found, And therefore very scarce and difficult.... I'm very happy with it, and I really trust this one. It's wappen seems very well attached to the...
