Many cavalry helmets and cavalry related items.

A fellow collector told me that they were from the Vornholz museum.

It’s mentioned on the homepage of Schloss Vornholz, but that might be outdated:

  • Das Kavalleriemuseum kann auf Voranmeldung von Gruppen besichtigt werden.

There are some nice pieces there, but the price tag will also be nice, with vieling you have the costs of the auction and the shipping, I would say let you go in November

I am 100% sure that the Verlag Militaria book "Die deutsche Kavallerie" has many items of the Schloß Vornholz Kavallerie Museum.
-Not marked: meaning: from "Unnamed collections"

I checked my 2014 clips I recorded:
several of the Vornholz Collection items are in this HH Auktion.

Amazing catalogue! Most stuff is super high end, are there enough high end collectors to buy everything for a high price? perhaps there could be some bargains for us low level bottom feeders. Rob
 
I never visited the Vornholz museum, but I know people who did and they told me the collection is / was amazing, both dunked blau and feldgrau.

And being a great fan of german imperial cavalry , I agree that the offered items are " high end" indeed!, and I wondered before (like Bobted) if there are enough enthousiasts to buy everything, at the right price, or if abundance would lead to bargains, ... (sounds like an opportunity).
but the auction of the late Karel van Boschaete ("adler" on this forum) proved to me there are enough wealthy collectors to absorb these items without devaluation ...

As I'm currently involved in a building project that consumes all my resources for the moment I'm not able to expand my collection with those items... (happy I did not need to sell of anything),

I always feel a bit sorry when a fantastic collection falls apart, I rather would like to see it kept together in a museum available for display to us enthusiasts, like what happened to the Friese collection in fort de la Pompelle.
 
These collection is like an ancient family, bound by shared bloodlines and collectively recounting a glorious past. Now, at the auction, they are destined to part ways and drift apart, much like the dispersal of a family—a truly heartbreaking sight.
Perhaps, for most of these treasures, we may only glimpse their final curated forms through digital auction catalogs in the future.

By the way, does anyone know why the family closed down the museum and started selling the items?

I wish I knew - but for these family-owned little museums or collections, all it takes is one person in the chain of custody who isn't that interested in the history, and thinks to themselves "wait, what did you say we get for all this stuff?" It's a shame though, for sure.

I visited Vornholz many years ago, but last I had heard it was doing well. Did they run out of funding?
 
I was there many times. Also, for sale the Standard of Husaren Regiment Königin Wilhelmina der Niederlande (Hannoversches) Nr. 15 in 1999 it was also for sale by Kube Auktionen.
I hope it will stay in Germany.
