-Just ordered this book: bundle of 76 drawings by M. Charles FRIESÉ. (1901-1970). As we all know: He owned the world-famous collection of Imperial German headgear that is now exhibited at the Fort de la Pompelle. Near Reims-France. (Just before the Centenary in 2014; this fabulous collection sadly underwent a "modern" makeover...loosing it's soul...so bad!...)

"Les coiffures de l'armée imperiale Allemande. Recueil dessiné de toutes les plaques des casques, shakos, colbacks, schapskas et mitres de parade portés par l'armée active de 1912 à 1918";

Edited by the author in 1959.

On its way-from Germany.
