Hi Guys,
Probably like most if not all of you I am an Imperial collector. My main focus is Germany 1870-1918 but I also have an interest in and a smaller collection of Austro-Hungarian medals, headgear and uniforms. If money was not an issue I would have a bigger AH-collection but as it is Germany gets priority. My Imperial German collecting interests are: uniforms, shoulder boards/straps, headgear, medal bars with EK2s and buckles - in about that order. I am interested in both pre-war darkblue and fieldgrey items. Saxon items hold a special place in my heart although I am not exclusive and am quite happy with my Bavarian, Wuerttemberg, Prussian, Hessian and so on items. My militaria collection interest goes back about 30 years and I regularly contribute to the WAF. I love to visit military museums, battlefields and read political-military history. Besides this I love my family and am an avid hunter (ducks, geese, pigeons, various deer, hare and so on). As I live in Norway I am able to hunt just about anything right outside my house and during the hunting season I hunt most days at least until the snow gets too high. We have about 5-6 months of snow every year here. I also enjoy good tv shows such as Better call Saul, True Detective, Ballers and so on. Besides loving living in Norway, I always am happy to spend my holidays in the US, Germany and Austria. Well I leave my introduction at that. Happy to be here and hopefully make some new friends.
Cheers, Tom
