Leib-Kürassier-Regiment Nr.1 OR. "Flying Eagle"

[Khukri]

My latest: 4 November Soissons-France- Auction. Top helmet. Heavy. No extra holes. All in place. Washers and nuts. No trace of rust or "artificial rust". No Special Painting. Never put together. No, It will never be mothers finest....Needs just a bit of dusting. Not even gun oil needed.

Thank you Tony. Glad this was a good gamble.
-Had a good feeling when I saw the pictures. Not being at the Auctions room... "no examination" possible. Asked for extra pictures: on extra holes etc...No answer.
...A cardio test...Not to be repeated too often. Should have driven the 200 miles to Soissons. Lessons learned.

-Would like to see the example with the metal loops/slits and leather wedges!

Same problem with me...I already sent them 7 e mails about shipping and up to now ( one week...) NO answer.....
