Thank you, I was able to find some of the listings by going to the home page, but not as good as the new link.

Thanks for the link. But beware,there is a lot of crap in it as well.
One of the most obvious...
 
Thanks for pointing out thise sale, I managed to get a few bits!
:pale: But not my two favorites;.......
 
Grrr...a Belgian lance (M1823) went for only 300 €...

And the formidastic Belgian 4th Lancers Tschapka went for 4000 €.(add 23 % auction tax). Rare as hen's teeth you know !!!

Yep: the 4th Lancers Regiment held the line at Halen that 12th of August 1914.

Does anyone know who the collection belonged to?

That helmet is pretty bad. At least some effort went into making it look Imperial. I see so many helmets with little more than a German cockade that are dubbed "rare Imperial German sun helmet." I've seen Italian, French and many American helmets doctored up this way!
 
Here is the complete collection of items I managed to buy....
3 more lots as I originaly thought, due to a misunderstanding (my fault!)
 
Nice misunderstanding indeed :lol:
Congrats.

Next time please notify me on a possible misunderstanding on a Belgian or German lance...

I won't tell your missus, you don't tell my missus...deal ?

Brothers in crime !
