That's a really nice one Alan, especially with the bonus of a name on the bottom. Thanks for posting the pictures. Peter

People are cautious. Too Many scams. To show they are for real how about detailed pictures of a few of the helmets and hats, inside and out?

No pictures here yet.

Thanks!

Technically not a patriotic postcard but one from Coblenz from 1900 where the owner of my first Pickelhaube was stationed with the 28th Regiment Von Goeben. Any help with the text would be appreciated. Thanks. Peter

Amazing displays! I love how you have all the other items displayed with them.

Looks great!

Great idea. I think if you could find a period picture that would fit in the top of the box on the inside it would look even better. Then display it with the lid open. No offence to Twinings.

You have an amazing collection and great work with the restorations. Du hast eine fantastische Sammlung und tolle Arbeit bei den Restaurationen.

Translation: Hello, yes, it's a beautiful job that also requires a lot of patience. I've probably restored 10-15 spiked helmets already. I'm always on the lookout for wrecks where restoration is still worthwhile. Furthermore, sourcing field-gray spare parts isn't easy. It's simpler with the M95...

This should help:

Okay this makes it interesting! Almost thought it was your relative at first. See the comments on the right. Photo seems to be from the same studio with the gold chair. Makes you wonder if a bunch of them went at the same time. And the guy in this picture's sleeve is also covered by the...

Of course the photo hides a lot of the bottom of that sleeve. I can almost see something there but it's probably just a mark on the photo. Probably wishful thinking on my part.

As a former tanker Tony could chip in as well on how the tanks do it. I think probably like our 105 mm rounds.

As an Artilleryman I can make an educated guess and say that yes the casing and projectile are two sperate parts for that gun. Looks like they loaded and rammed home the projectile and then put the casing with the charge bags in. So it all depends on the gun/howitzer and the caliber of the...

Sorry to hear that Reingold. I hope one day things can get back to a more peaceful world. There is so much instability in the world right now that just makes everyone's lives miserable. And many nations causing it.
