About a month ago, I had an opportunity to purchase some wappen for my collection. Here are some photos taken today:
Saxe Garde Reiter OR's, obviously a rare piece.
Soldered screw posts. I don't know whether there are soldered loop versions of these or not.
Hussar Regts 1 & 2, unfortunately, much of the neusilber finish is missing.
Having taken numerous photos of Tony's skull collection I believe this to be an original.
Pre 1912 JR 92 Reservist OR's wappen worn by 1 & 2 Batt. The Reservist cross is integral to the star and running horse. Note as well, there is no "Fur Koenig" bandeau on the eagle as the motto appears on the cross. This is regulation but there are examples where the cross was simply added to the "Koeing" plate. Note the fine details including the pebbling behind the running horse.
Screw posts indicates an older piece. More to come...
