Arrived home 2 hours ago, lets post some photos:

Our tables at the start of the Show on Wednesday.....James has already sold 5 helmets!
IMG_0445.jpeg
A nice display of different headdress! The IG visor cap is from a Saxe Ulan unit. I have additional photos of this piece to post.
IMG_0446.jpeg
A wide variety of items.
IMG_0447.jpeg
I have never seen anything like these (Beer?) glasses before...just steins. These are very cool!

M15 and Tschapka uberzug.

TR Police Shakos.
IMG_0527.jpegTo be continued...
 
OK, as requested but my age becomes obvious.

MAP took the photo of the 3 of us! The yellow object behind us is an O2 tank from a B17 and it actually was sold at the Show! The 2 guys selling from the tables behind us were great and we had some really good conversations. They were brothers and veterans of Desert Storm! Lars, that was my intention for my first series of photos....give an idea of our surroundings.

I could not pass up a quick shot of this page which was also for sale. The Mexican uniforms and helmets shown demonstrate the German influence of this time period. I have always wanted a Mexican wappen for my collection!

Saxe Ulan
IMG_0535.jpeg
Interior showing price and a penciled name. I thought James was interested and got the guy down to $600 on my "walk about" but it turned out that my table partner was not in the market for a visor cap.
IMG_0517.jpeg
Things were slow so I decided to put on my size 60 cm Train Batt. helmet! James now owns it ....contact him if interested.
IMG_0522.jpeg
A Prussian reservist with tall "fashion spike". The fittings were soooo.. shiny that I suspected a repro but the liner was original and showed wear.
IMG_0525.jpeg
There are always lots of long guns at these shows.
IMG_0524.jpeg
IMG_0518.jpeg
I was told that this was a German cuirass. Perhaps, it shows the dramatic effect of "grapeshot"!
 
Brian, thanks for the photos. It’s the next best thing to being there! Glad to hear you made it home safely.

James, I like the (tank) t -shirt. Tanks for wearing it.

Great photos! Despite walking the aisles for 3 days, I didn't see some of these items. Maybe they were sold.
 
Hello Brian, I think I’d feel right at home there too. Even just looking at the lovely photos, there’s something that appeals to me—those beer glasses—but I imagine there’s plenty more that would interest me. gino
 
Hello ,

Many thanks for this report; from France, we always look forward to photos of this wonderful event.

I have a question: in a photo, a seller is offering an officer's *Überzug* (cover) with the red band... is it possible to get that seller's contact details?
Thank you in advance.
Daniel

Very nice Bryan! The Kurass looks like it is a model 1814 which would have been captured from the French.

Unfortunately Daniel I don't have the name of the dealer. It is impossible to gather any of that kind of information when one is walking around the show just taking photos of pieces to post here on the forum. Thanks Bob for the ID
 
I remember the general area where this dealer was set up. But not the exact asile. But it was close to the main entrance
 
More photos:

An "uber rare" example of a Baden M15 in winter "Ost Front Camo" !!
IMG_0533.jpeg
Excellent condition!
IMG_0503.jpeg
A wappen that I have never seen before. Can anyone identify this??

James brought this to sell and hard to believe it took 2 days to find a buyer! Again something that I have never seen.
IMG_0508.jpeg
Pioneer?
 
I didn't see that wound badge that James was selling. Would have bought it in a second if I did.

I was really tempted to buy the Baden winter camo but I don't collect Ost Front! LoL so passed on it! :ROFLMAO:
