Here's an opportunity to acquire an iconic and desirable helmet for an affordable price! This is a Prussian EM/NCO Garde du Korps or Garde Kurassier helmet with it's original parade eagle in light weight private-purchase quality. The tombak body is very thin and the lining is a deluxe all...

I know it's a long shot, but does anybody have a pair?

Got this last year from one of our members and haven't found a use for it, so I'm passing it on for what I paid- $150 plus postage!

Super stickpin probably associated with the Baden 109th rather than the actual Order. Measures 3.5cm across. $75 incl. airmail.

Does anyone have a pair to part with? A post-war set from a Feuerwehr helmet will suffice!

Hello Fellow Collectors, Are there any German members here who would be willing to order and reship to Canada some militaria from an eBay Germany seller who won't send here? Cheers, Arran.

I was very pleased to get this one, and will go into its significance and interesting construction in another thread, but for now, here is my new helmet of the mounted escort of President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico:

This is a variety I've not seen before! Certainly looks original... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Helmet-at-pointe-spiked-spike-helmet-/133154042313?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10

This is a scarce and lovely peaked cap as worn in warmer climes by officers of the Kaiserliches Marine. It is composed of a cream light weight wool twill, lined in a combination of silk and linen, and finished off with a matching calf-skin perforated sweatband. The lovely bullion/metal cap...

When I try to send a private message, it lingers in my outbox and will not go through- can an admin look into this for me? Thanks, Arran.

Before sending off to consignment or auction, I thought I would first offer this lovely busby to members here. It is a pre-war, otter fur covered officer's busby of the elite Leib-Garde Hussars, and is complete to parade with its correct cords, plume, and bag (removable). More photos are...

These are not a true exact pair, but they came together and are both marked to the 120th Infantry Regiment, (2nd Württemberg) "Emperor William, King of Prussia". The first example is impressed on the back "120.R.1875 F.B." and ink stamped in the lid "120.R.1888 F.B." The belt straps have been...

This is a lovely dark green cloth covered cork officer's helmet of the Durham Light Infantry, circa 1910. The helmet plate is multi-piece, of superb quality- as is the rest of the helmet! Approximately a size 7. Priced at about half what they usually go for! US $550.00 plus shipping...

Firstly, Season's Greetings! Many of you will have seen this helmet when it was first unearthed by Peter S., and you may have wondered where it went. Well, it travelled north of the border, although not too far, and now resides with a few of its relatives. Certainly the addition of the year...

Hi Folks! Can anyone help me with identifying this sword and its coat of arms? Thanks, Arran.

This nice helmet should get snapped up- I happen to know the owner will accept $600. Needs just a little work... https://www.ebay.com/itm/253456947619?ul_noapp=true

Hi Folks, I have these mystery epaulettes I'm hoping to identify. Similar to German ones, with a dark blue backing, gilt mounts, and a pale yellow field. Each originally bore three stars. Any ideas? Cheers, Arran.

I've owned a few of these over the years, but this is by far the nicest of them! The fabric is fresh and bright, and the bullion embroidery retains most of its original gilding, which really makes it stand out. The size is reasonably large (about 42-43 chest) and there are loops for a long...

Help! I have a message that's been sitting in my outbox that I'd like to send, but with no luck. I've had this problem before- it tells me the message is sent, but when I go to check its not in my sent messages, but left in my outbox. What am I doing wrong? Cheers, Arran.

Hi Gents, I recently received this sword in a trade, and its completely outside my realm of knowledge. It was suggested that it might be from Wurttemberg, but for all I know it could be some sort of South American export model. I've tried to get pics of the salient features and markings...
