MAX PHOTOS B. Loree

My treasures found at the show:

M95 Bavarian reservist, both visors need stitching but condition is very nice. In my experience, these reservist helmets are rare.

Nice complete liner. I bought this on the last day of the show and got $200 off of the ticket price! :) When attending one of these events, it pays to walk through the tables at least twice or more. This is one advantage of having tables at a show. It is exhausting walking around all day on cement with white tube lights beating down on you but you can find some cool treasures!

Hessen officer kokarde and Garde star. This is the second star that I have found, the first was at the SOS.

Both loops present on the star. In my experience both at the SOS and MAX if you search carefully, you can find some rare pieces.

Another find picked up during my 3rd Show walk through. Baden officer wappen, heavily tarnished! Hopefully, my sonic cleaner will clean this up!

Original sticker price..$120 sold for $100. You walk up to the dealer and have the cash in hand! :) I will do a before and after on this piece when I have time to clean it.
 
Had that M15 Oldenburg in my hands but the damage to the back was just too bad for the price to me. It's one I've been looking for but just that damage and the mismatched spike helped make the decision to keep looking a little longer the only one I felt comfortable with. I think . :cry::cry::cry:

Anyone know what that shoulder button on the 92nd Tunic says and is. That's new to me.

Thanks for posting the pictures, Brian. (y)(y)
 
Thankyou for posting the photos , looks like a lot of fun was had by all. Tell me does all the good stuff get sold before the public gets in. Tob

Hi Ron,
It was 2500..the view from the front drew me in like a moth to the flame but when I picked it up I just feel out of love.
All the best

Thanks John! I agree with you, I also would have been interested if the issues you mention were not present, but at 2500 asking price, no.

Could this be somehow related to the Berlin police. I found some AI references (of course never to be trusted) to it be for a 50th anniversary

Some of my purchases, the Bavarian Reserve officer with cover was from the Late Chip Minx collection, so had to have it.

Hi
The Bavarian officer looks magnificent, with a very fine spike; he deserves to be showcased with high-quality photos.
Thank you, Loree, for this entire report.

After using my sonic cleaner, a photo of the Baden Officer wappen as it is now:

The results are what I hoped for when I bought this wappen! Background...a Prussian M15 rear visor pinned for stitching. Foreground, part of a chord chart for a song I am working on for my cover band, Bombshell. I have played rock guitar in bars and festivals since I was 18. Performing live music and teaching History make up a huge part of my life.
