Well, I imagine you have some fine pieces too, after 40 years of searching and traveling for those old Pickelhaubes.
This revolver is a Reichsrevolver Model 1879; I don't really fancy carrying it around at the front every day.
Beautiful display with a remarkable spectrum of significant pieces. For me, this is a case of "less is more."
Oh, the next photo will be of some regular pieces—just a little patience, please; I'm currently putting the cabinet together.

Many thanks Jozef for the kind words. Well, "small" is a relative term; sometimes when I see the collections people here have built up—wow—I think, "Boy, my collection is tiny." But back home in Belgium, there are some fine collections of these items too; it’s all a matter of perspective, isn't it? All in all, once the two cabinets are full, I’ll move on to the colorful uniforms—the ones from the 1900–1914 era, the "colorful" ones, so to speak. It will mean finding work and saving up; "Age of Kings" has some things that appeal to me, but unfortunately, shipping costs can be high, and then there are the customs charges on top of that.I think it's a GREAT looking collection Gino full of wonderful pieces
I don't agree with your use of the word small, it's not about how many or how much of anything you have.
A very nice collection, congratulations.

If you buy something from Age of Kings, you can alway's arrange it, so that Remy Schaal can send it from France to you. That way, you can by-pass those extra costs like customs charges. Remy is in fact a French born guy, and visits his family there often.
Hello. Yes, I know, but I still like to hold things in my hands—that way, you can see what they’re really like. As for *Age of Kings*, I do know it; I see it every year at a trade show in Belgium.
Many thanks. The lighting is actually a 12V LED strip with a motion sensor, so I don't have to keep turning the light on when I go to take a look—it was a really handy setup to make.
