Hello, just to mix it up a bit here is my new cabinet display to show off a couple of recent purchases alongside some other older items.

Uhlan Officer's Tschapka for Regt 6 of the KK Landwehr. Rank of Captain.
Madder red lagerkappe for Uhlan Officers.
Field grey Officers cap for Uhlan Officers
Officers Shako for Artillery Regiment.

they are serious bling ! best dressed into battle..............more 1814 than 1914.

cheers

Tony

One of the first Max shows years ago was in St. Louis , Mo.
We could not get a room close to show
but found a motel out away from the city
As I went to check in I saw in the hallway of the motel
cases of Austrian helmets on display
I wish that I had taken photos
and I often wonder what became of the helmets ?

Thanks for the kind words, as a nice extra, the madder red cap features in The Emperors Coat publication by Stefan Rest.
