I was going to bid when it first came up, but I saw George had already bid. I didn't want to out-bid "The Coyote".

Thanks for the thought Tony, I had it up until 5 mins. after it was posted in this thread. It's fair game now. Thanks again!

I bid more than sanity would allow and lost. In the words of Butch Cassidy..."Who are those guys?"

 

[spikeymikey]

Those guys are 'Stratmen', Joe.
$58 - that's stratospheric! The only thing to do is seek solace in good beer. Did you get the Sachsen group shot?

 

[joerookery]

No. There is a Beatles song..... I'm a loser......

 

[spikeymikey]

Can't win em all, Joe.
You like the Moptops?

Stratman paid $85 for the last foto he bought...a nice shot of a Soldat wearing a Prussian filz helme. However, certainly not worth what he paid. I lusted after the Hessen as well Joe....I have never seen the like before but at least, now we know that that helmet did exist!! Brian
