Fantastic find!

I ended up with a pair of epaulettes that completes my officer's tunic for Ulanen Regiment Hennings von Treffenfeld Nr.16. Overpriced, but I missed out on a pair two years ago in the Carsten Zeige Auction and was not going to let that happen again.

So that's what I'm suffering from! I always thought I just liked collecting because i enjoyed German history since I was 4 and it was easier to collect Imperial German articles and "own" that history rather than Carthaginian items, another period of history that I am fascinated in. Started...

Yes , I have a list of the "should've bought".Some ,of course ,are more painful than others. And then, even worse, are the items I had and sold. One Überrock for Dragoner-Rgt Nr. 8 comes to mind.

Beautiful hat!

Amazing after all these years Herr Kube has gone to live bidding. I wish the late, great Steve McFarland could be here to see this. As a follow up to Auction 151, I won a helmet. I was able to pay by check in US dollars with a $35 fee and had him ship it to my friend in Hamburg . I sent check...

Incredible find!

Looks great . Any idea when Dragoner/Ulanen volume comes out?

His tomb was in Stettin. I wonder if there is anything left of it or did it go the way of GFM Moltke's tomb in Silesia ?

Yesterday, I received a letter from Herr Kube stating that although I paid the requested $83.00 for the 3 upcoming auctions, because "US-Customs" do not forward the catalogs to his customers he would not be sending any to the USA. If I wanted to bid ,I should look at the catalog online, print...

The description is wrong in so many ways, So what is it really worth? If a real one is $1500 to $2500?

I wondered when he was not responding to the posts of the last month that something was wrong. Very sad news indeed. He helped at that one SOS Show held in July to introduce me to people with much more knowledge in the field than myself. His photographic posts of parts of his collection were...

Some helmets at 12:03 , a glimmer of tunics at 20:00, a nice offering of helmets at 34:15 and two items at 37:12.
