Thanks for all your assistence! :lol: Douglas.

Hi Otto, Glad to see you too! And the girls of your life? Are they OK? I also think this EK I is not a good one. Let´s see what the others have to say. Douglas. :D

Hi folks, Found this EKI in the Internet. To me it is a fake as I never saw such kind of numbers and looks that the core was repainted (mayba a one-piece construction). Also the maker´s mark is uncommon (Deschler & Sohn). The pictures are not great but are everything I managed to get...

Hello Forum mates, I found this page a while ago and I think that you will enjoy it. According to this source there are currently 79 WWI veterans still alive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surviving_veterans_of_the_First_World_War This page already lists Mr. Gilson as deceased but has a higher...

Hi people! Here is a picture that I found at a local flea market a few weeks ago. I think you will enjoy it to see these tough guys. As far as I know this regiment was raised in 1917, but note they all are wearing jackboots and appear to be so well kitted out. These men are in a rear area and...

Otto, Congrats for such nice find! :lol: Douglas.

I agree, it is not the item for guys like us! But did you check his WWI photos section? He has some nice pictures of German pilots/planes. Oh, let me assure you all that I have no interest to marketing his items. Just like to warn you all about some good items that can be found at this kind of...

Otto, Most of the medal bars with the maker´s mark that I´ve seen are sewn in the fabric that covers the back and also brings the city where the maker was located. For instance, "Godet, Berlin". I would say that it is the name of the awardee - which is also very uncommon. Nice medal! Douglas.

Hi Otto, If I remember correctly, Diego has a medal bar which has the same long service medal. I will check if the ribbon is correct, but it looks OK to me. Douglas.

Oops, :eek: I forgot to mention: his website is www.militariasales.com and his name is Marc. Nice chap to deal with. Douglas.

Hi Otto and my Imperialoids´ Friends, A friend collector from Belgium is putting for sale this complete flying gear of a WWI pilot and I thought that you might would like to take a look. Enjoy...

Otto & Family, Thank you so much for your greetings. To you and all the Forum Mates our best vows of a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Douglas & Diego

Joe and Gus, The pctures were taken at Otto's home. The girls and the beer were at the luxury hotel I was :twisted: ... unfortunately, Otto wasn't able to go to my party! What a shame! Douglas

Hi, I would like to say thanks to Otto for all his hospitality during my short visi. Few times I was so warmly welcome in a first visit like this one. He is a real true friend and a real "bona fide" militaria's lover! Time runs fast when we are among friends! A new visit will occur in near...

Hi Otto! Here I am: the "kid" ... 8) August 6th, 1974!!! Douglas.

:shock: :shock: :shock: Amazing piece! congratulation! Douglas.

Hi, Gustaf is right, since it is an Austrian helmet M17 (and not a German M16 or M18). The way to attach the chinstrap gives the clue. Douglas

Welcome! And be careful: some people eve stole you birthday´s cake when you are away! :cry: Oh, and sure, sometime we talk about WWI militaria! :wink: Douglas.

It´s my fault! :oops: But here is he again: the youngest Imperialoid among us! Diego made some nice additions lately, and I´m sure that he will be pleased to show you... Douglas.

James, Interesting news! When I became sick, I mean, started in this hobby, Manions´site was the first I started to visit to see interesting things. Never buy anything from them, although, mainly because I heard and read some bad impressions. It has been a long time since my last visit, so...
