well not exactly...............

After years of looking finally pieced together my representation of an Austrian Officers personal kit circa 1916-1918. Attention is in the detail I guess so hopefully the pictures will do it justice.

kind regards

Tony

Really excellent!
Pictured in black and white, and without the Schiffer books visible, it could have been a period dug-out!
Very nice work.

Regards, Coert.

All well and good....Tony but that collection/display is so complete that it must be haunted!! So many personal Austrian pieces from the trenches, awesome.

Thanks Guys, appreciate the positive feedback. Tried to match the personal items to the era, The Tolstoy books were dated 1908 and the news paper is 1918 along with the letter/postcard that is being written. The barometer was a nice find as it was made in Prague 1875 and came via my Yoga teacher (i know) who was also made in Prague !
