Hi,

I am glad to found your forum. And now I can login, thanks to Brain.

A short presentation of me: Based in Munich. Age 44 years

When I began to collect, there was not the web in its present form. Information for Military or Hussars in particular was very hard to find, not like today with one or two mouse clicks. Even books were hard to find. How it all began??
A little boy has played with the Military. Plastic soldiers and plastic models. At that time there was not the stupid debate about war toys. Please excuse this expression. I do not glorify war nor am I violent. Maybe it was the good education that I've enjoyed.

First of all I get the medals of my Grandfather WW2 but I stroll with my mother very often on the flew market’s here in Germany.
On time I found the trousers of a Hussar. So this was the beginning I sold all my WW2 stuff and started to collect Hussars. Leib Garde Husar of course

First, I introduce you my NOC Leib Garde Husaren. It took over 25 years to fit him in his current form of presentation.
I know the presentation does not ensure correct. But it is only possible for me to see all the things like Kartuschkasten or Säbeltasche.

The Medallbar is from anofficer of the cuirassiers. But I like the decoration as it is. Maybe I'm a bit like Brands ...
The last part was the Dolman NOC from the Brand / Kube auction.

Was one of you on this auction? Sitting in some a American / English people. We have a small "figth" for a Kartuschkasten :profileright:
I was the dark-haired man with his wife blond ……..

Maybe the other collectors here could upload some picture of Hussars.

Forgot in front the child Hussar is not a toy Hussar, regular small child items Saxon 19th Hussars in the “new” form “Rossetten” in silver not cloth after 1903….

I will sell a Attila Leib Garde Husaren in NOC in condition 3+ and a Dolman Pelzjacke regularly Leib Garde Husar in condition 2+
Sorry for my poor English …




 
Stunning stuff, welcome to the forum.

As a collector of Kinder items, I am very pleased to see such a nice Kinder uniform.

My goodness! Welcome to the forum and your English is perfect. We have some people in Belgium and France that went to the auction. A bit too expensive for me. Wonderful stuff.
 
Outstanding presentation, and do not worry about your English, it is better than many of us who speak English everyday. It is interesting that you strated with the trousers of the Hussar, IF I find a pair of trousers, I try to add them to my collection, as that is often the hardest part of a uniform to find, because the trousers could be worn every day when there was a shortage of clothing, in the US it is the boots that are difficult to find for a US uniform.
I too played with toy soldiers as a child, and when the fighting was over, the toy soldiers went back to the fields and worked on toy tractors, I did not beat swords into plowshears, I beat toy soldiers into farmers.
Welcome to the forum
