Love it!!!

Excellent collection of needle rifles! Congratulations Willi! This is the only needle rifle I have in my collection. A model 1857 cavalry carbine

Excellent paint job!

Very nice hat Dane! It's sister-ship, the Koenigsberg played an interesting role in the fighting in German East Africa during the war. The war there was very different than the meatgrinder in Europe and makes for a very interesting read.

Congratulations Coert

I saw that too. Could not have been up long

I'll bet the last person who wore that had quite a headache.

Nice!!!

Yes they do. He was only 20 when he fell. Couldn't have been in the service too long. A familiar story for the World Wars

Thanks!

Looking at the list, there were 83 men killed, wounded or captured on Sept 25, 1915 in Pogost. Does anyone know if the Regiment was involved in a major action that day?

This is awesome! Thanks!!!

Nice photo Steve!

Congratulations Amy! That is a beauty. Love those Mecklenburg wappens.

I was thinking the same thing. Overcompensating for some other deficiency? :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Steve. Yes, I got them from Weitze about 3 years ago.

Thank you. Yes, I make the frames for all my displays. It would be impossible to find them the correct size. Thanks Jeff! Yes, the tag reads "Unteroffizier Oehlmann, 5 Esc Br Hus Regt 17"

My "shrine" to HR17. :ROFLMAO: Hopefully I'll be fortunate enough to add a Pelzmutze someday.

Recently picked up the 18 DR example. It is very similar to one I had for the 13 UR. The 2 men were born within a month of each other. The disks are exactly the same size and shape and contain the same information.
