Hi Zeb,

Coincidentally, I just saw your topic for the first time.
What a fantastic collection and what quality...
Simply great!
The Stirnpanzer on the Berndorfer and that first trench club are jaw dropping...

Until the beginning I have thought that quality always pays off.

A small addition just purchased at the local market last week-end. Both binoculars and leather case well marked and dated.

And now an very old friend of mine. It was on of the first austrian piece I have added in my collection many years ago.
Here is a M 1902 austrian feldgendarmerie. The body is realized in pressed cork covered with khaki striped canvas.
The metal chinstraps is in a one piece.
