With full intention of stealing his thunder – you guys are in for a treat. The nicest/rarest shako I have seen in years and years was recently stolen from Gus and I before we even knew it was for sale. That notorious collector and member here – James – has scored something absolutely wonderful. I would take pictures of it and show you guys but alas – I do not have it. Gus and I were just too slow. Gus has a new knee and my wheelchair is on the fritz. You would think that James might have some pity for us. But no – he just ran out and bought this damn thing. The good news is that he will share this with us and it went to a collection from a wonderful family. I used to think that James was a nice guy – now all I have is complete envy. :x :ANGRY: :lol:

You must be running out of room, plus that climate up there with the temperature and humidity changes are hell on helmets. I will be glad to store them here in Colorado for you...perfect humidity, low temp fluctuations, etc. Will be up north for my Nephew's graduation, will keep some room in the Escape for your stuff. :D

Hey Keith,
I think we should pay a visit to The Land of a Thousand mud holes, preferably when James is at work.
 
Please tell me it's one of those awesome (and freakingly expensive) East Asian Shakos sold by Tony Cowan very recently =P~ =P~ =P~

He sold a classic--and still quite rare/expensive--East Asian Jäger Felt EM/OR shako as well as something I had never seen before: an East Asian Train Batallion Shako made with the same cork/cloth combination as the classic M1902 Tropenhelm...

I can do that, My brother is a special agent with the Crime Bureau, He should know how to pick a lock and disable an alarm :thumb up:

We don't need no stinking lock pick, you can get through any window with a brick, and I know the disarm code for James' security system, it is always the name of the pet, and Fluffy the cat is James' favorite pet.

All the rocks are frozen to the ground, but we can kick a brick out of the corner of James' house easy, no background checks or waiting period.
