[Amybellars]

That's a handsome looking man. But I like to look at the helmets more lol. No man can replace my love for pickelhaubes. Lol

 

[Jeff R]

Lookin' good Zeb!

And your collection is magnificent - I'll be interested to see more.

The background is incredible, with all due respect to this noble officer.

Looking good Zeb

What a nice collection, looks like you and your son are having a good time and that's what it's all about.

Hello Zeb,
:amouro) Everything is beautiful, but the Tchapka M43s are exceptional.

Absolutely beautiful tschapkas. Appreciate the close ups showing the details

At last Zeb has revealed himself!! Quite amazing that you can fit into that tunic and find a Garde Haube that you can wear as well. My hat size is 58 cm so it is rare but not impossible for me to wear a helmet. Well done Zeb!

 

[pickelhauben]

Well done Zeb !
Looks like a period picture that has come to life !

 

[ussguppy]

Nice mustache!

Fabulous collection I too love the Tschapkas. Rob

I like your display cases too

 

[Peter B]

Yes great display cases I agree. Great lighting and glass shelves that allow you to see the whole collection very nicely. Haven't seen anything comparable over here in Canada.

Zeb, is this your house, or do you run a museum in which all these artifacts reside?

 

[Zebedeus]

Then drive to NB this year Peter. Door is open.

Zeb, to keep this thread about your collection, I can split postings and make a new thread for Reiner’s collection. Reiner do you agree? Both of you have mind-boggling collections each worthy of its own thread. What do you both think?

Dear Tony, it is fine for me.
