Hanseatic Shako??????

[kaiserzeit]

G'day Guys,

Long time no post! Gus, bless your pointed head!

I'm still here, just caught up in other things for the present.

I spotted this Shako on Ebay.com and wondered about it. The fact that everybody stayed away from it speaks volumes:

Strangely, it didn't draw any fire on this forum either. I figure you guys would have been all over it.

I have never seen a Hanseatic feldzeichen and none of my books are helping. Is it for real?

I'll look forward to your commentary.

Cheers,

Laurie

Yes it did! Look at the recent post "Hanseatic Shako from an old collection"..

Thanks Bruno,

There's hope! I see that neither of his "gems" garnered a bid.

What about the feldzeichen?

Cheers,

Laurie

Hey Laurie,
Glad you are still around, I still owe you a beer for calling you a girl, maybe sometime soon I can make it up to your part of the country. The boarder guards at Blaine look me over very close since they caught me with a grenade in my jovkeybox a few years ago.
