I wonder if the same collector got both of them. And if they also bought the saddle blanket and saddle bag covers.Jeff
That set of the 1LKR1 officer ; helmet & Kurass after HH Com
and if an American bought it with the exchange rate
would knock on the door of $100,000 U S D

Indeed! It's not every day the premier IG cavalry museum deaccessions most (if not all) of it's collections - we may never see an auction like it again.Jeff

No need to be sad @Jvpi - the Küraß will be displayed with a 1LKR helmet that is pretty much dead mint
....and now everyone knows what I spent my kids inheritance on lol. Yes I am the one crazy enough to drop that kind of money on the Küraß but at least it went to a forum member - along with a few other nice pieces I will post when they come in (fingers crossed for expedited shipping to Canada).

Incredible, I'm speechless! Congratulations!
Even more amazing that this Küraß is coming to Canada, would it ever be possible to visit u and ur collection? lolI'm no longer sad.
That's fantastic to know it will go to a good home !
Especially with that killer helmet to be united with !.....
And let be honest....that Küras is one of the most rarest beast known to man.
I know just one in a European collection, but that's it !
I'm very happy for you Doug !![]()
Magnificent helmet, Doug!
Congratulations Doug! Look forward to seeing photos when it arrives.
Guests are always welcome here as well. If you do come to Canada make time to get from my house to Doug‘s house. It is only 2724 miles / 4384 km.Incredible, I'm speechless! Congratulations!
