I got this in an auction a little while ago. Iron Cross 2nd Class, Red Eagle Order 4th Class and the Prussian Lifesaving Medal. Perhaps he could be identified (or at least narrowed down). Dave

Wie gehts: I would like to share a few pics of the Prussian Guard officer's feldbluse I was able to pick up recently. The "Old Prussian" litzen with matt silver Spiegel and the plain, non-cyphered white-piped boards would identify the jacket to a leutnant of the 5. Garde-Regt. zu Fuss. There...

Gents: A nice pre-1890 Prussian dragoon officer's spike I picked up. Everything was complete and proper with a single cockade. However, to my mind we never resolved to my satisfaction as to when (or if) the single-banded what is called the "NCO cockade" was ever used as an officer cockade...

Wie gehts: Here is a M-1910 officer's waffenrock, schirmmutze, feldbinde and pickelhaube for a leutnant of KR 8, part of the VIII AK and garrisoned in Deutz which I was able to complete. The piping color is hellgrun (light green). A few things to notice for kurassier waffenrocks are the...

Wie gehts: Here is a M-1910 officer's waffenrock, feldmutze, feldbinde and pickelhaube for a rittmeister of DR 21, part of the XIV AK and garrisoned in Bruchsal-Schwetzingen that I finnally was able to complete. The piping color is zitronengelb (lemon yellow). A few things to notice for...

Wie gehts all: I just saw Tony’s wonderful M1867 Garde Grenadier helmet, and it rekindled some questions I had posed in the “old forum” that , to my mind, were never fully addressed. I had questioned about the specific uses of the wide winged “grenadier” eagle which had the eagle on the...

300053857441. I don't have much experience with the officer metal helms. Any opinions? Dave

Wie gehts all: I'm hoping to start a continuing thread on feldgrau visor caps. Here are a few to start it off. Dave Officer's Schirmmutze for Kurassier-Regt. Graf Gessler (Rheinisches) Nr. 8 created in 1815, garrisoned in Deutz and part of the VIII.AK. Officer's Schirmmutze for...

This is another thread on "things that make you H-mmm". Here are two guard ulan officer plates with the stars removed. Do you see any discernable difference between them? :) Dave

Hello All: Here is something a little different; Tsarist Russian visors. This earlier visor is made of a fine heavy melton wool in the classic pea-green color.

Hello All: This one is the closest I've seen that could be called "near mint" condition!!!:lol:

"Hats off" to those who created this forum! Here are a couple of M1912 marine officer covers that may be of interest. Dave Cover #1 is named to a Lt.T.H. Mitchell. Through information provided by the USMC Museum in Quantico, 2nd Lt. Thomas Harron Mitchell USMCR was appointed 12/6/18 and was...

Wie gehts all: I hadn't had the opportunity to pick up anything in a while and share. I recently got this as an ebay purchase out of Europe. I was pleasantly surprised... Dave with bush: without bush: interior: plate

Wie gehts all: Although this is a bit earlier in age than I typically collect, I picked up this interesting "transitional" 25th dragoon officer's helmet last month and thought I would share it with you. I believe the helmet was constructed in circa 1880, with the introduction on the silk...

I know it's not pre-war or enlisted, but I'm hoping there is interest in this M-1910 officer's ulanka for this Oberleutnant from Ulanen-Regt. Konig Karl Nr. 19. Aside from the three Prussian guard ulan regiments, this is the only other ulan regiment allowed litzen. The buttons and the...
