My contribution - DR22 officer's Schirmmütze and pickelhaube.

Agreed - that thing is beautiful!

Wow - just outstanding. Beautiful job Brian!

Woohoo! Thanks for the heads up Francis! This one looks very interesting.

Gorgeous helmet Sandy - thanks for the detailed post!

Brian, these detailed posts on how you do what you do are fascinating and enlightening. Thanks for sharing them!

I agree that the Didier Lainé book is the gold standard, and a great book every collector should have. For quick reference re: parade configurations, Jim T's "Field Guide" is a convenient visual synthesis of several good reference works - and the many versions of the Moritz Ruhl uniform books...

Oh that's a lovely old warhorse - lots of reasons to think its early, including the very low profile, the tiny snub visor, the early "sunflower" style cockade, and the 1880's/1890's style interior. The Bavarian blue gaberdine fabric is very nice. A beautiful cap esp. considering its age. Thanks...

I'll third that sentiment on Dragoons - my fave. And that's a beauty Bob!

Spectacular Bob!

Awesome - thanks Coert! Would be fascinating to find one of the piggybank-haubes. I used to have the same poster in my academic office in our History dept. when I taught. It's a great piece of graphic art from the period. 👍

What a beautiful and astonishingly well-preserved old piece! Congrats Sander!

Bruno - have any more context for this one? What a great, weird image!

Absolutely gorgeous, Reiner - like the rest of your collection! Love the Saxon ulan regiments. 😻

Wow - that's spectacular. And Borchert to boot!

Beatiful images Mike!

/seconded. What a group, Steve!

Outstanding! Looks legit. 😺

Holy cow Bruno - what an extraordinary helmet and a beautiful grouping!

It's a pretty one - like yours is!
