Oh, and the grey plastic helmet in the photo is mine from 1965. It came with a grey plastic luger cap gun and has exact markings as a Kreighof luger. These were Marx toys produced to be associated with the “combat!” Tv series of the day. When we played combat, I was always the German soldier, wearing either this helmet or a real ww2 German M42 sd helmet my friends father brought home from wwRonI don’t see much out there in the way of kinder items. This is what I have. I know the manikin has a goofy face; it’s a c.p.r. dummy my wife rescued from the dumpster at work years ago.

Thanks James! You have a wonderful collection yourself. These things are difficult to find. I suspect due to their fragility, they didn’t survive.Nice kinder collection, love the GDC
For a collection of items related to children, yours is impressive. I only have two *ulanka* jackets and one helmet.
A uniform jacket belonging to a young knight of the Order of Saint James of the Sword. It was produced by El Corte Inglés—originally a small shop specializing in tailoring and children's clothing, located in Madrid at the corner of Calle Carmen and Calle Rompelanzas, near Calle Preciados—which was founded in 1890 and operated until 1931.Very cool Wojtek. would you happen to know the significance of the cross on the chest of the one "Ulanka" .
These items are very cool; I would have loved to play in them when I was a child.
Growing up my brother and I used to have all the American based toy clothes for kinds from Sears and Wards. I remember Cowboys, US Cavalry and even that old German helmet from Marx.
