More photos from the SOS:
This Bavarian filz was brought to the show for sale by James. It had 2 interesting characteristics, an original chin strap with neusilber fittings and a stamped support disc on the inside.
The disc reads: 1914 Carl Goldschmidt B Luckenwalde. This was very interesting as few manufacturers stamped the support disc.
Janet Robinson at our table and the hauben we had for sale.
A Hessen officer haube with a matching tunic.
M15 Kurassier with original chin strap, kokarden were the smaller infantry style. Cross on orb is missing, but the liner was in excellent shape..
A collection of wappen on Larry Stewart's table. I bought the 2 M15 tschako wappen. All of the Prussian line wappen were old style with screw posts. Too bad the 1850's bird was broken, or I would have bought that as well. Larry told me these wappen came from a "hoarder's house" which had been cleared out after his death. He had worked for an auction house during the 1950's and this is probably where these were bought. Nice Pioneer OR's wappen as well. There was a good selection of wappen for sale at the Show. There were 2 nice Bavarian brass OR's (brass) and a German dealer had a good selection which are shown in my first post.
Fire officer helme on the left (crossed axes) and Grenadier on the right. Incorrectly identified as a Garde Dragoon.
Swedish haube on the left, Landwehr officer (middle) then another unknown to me.
More to come!
