Not to mention certain ‘mules’ who board aeroplanes after filling their stomachs with powdered condoms by mouth and their intestines through the anus. ... This avoids travelling with ‘cabin’ luggage.:ROFLMAO:

The same difficulty exists for the Reichsgendarmerie, or Feldgendarmerie. The A.K.O.s for organisation and uniforms are much more confidential than for the army.

In France, we refer to this as a Saxon sleeve lapel. To avoid confusion, could someone please post a photo of a Polish sleeve lapel and a Swedish sleeve lapel? Thank you.

Around 1980, I had to investigate a ‘violent’ death as part of my job. A man had died on an exercise bike... :unsure: In fact, he had fixed the bicycle in place and raised the rear wheel so that he could cycle indoors. He then attached a roller shutter rod behind the rear wheel rim and...

Very handy for smuggling ammunition across the border, while keeping your fingers in your nose. 😁

Hello, not a fabric specialist, but I think it could be a Waffenrock worn by a German Jäger musician.

Hello, difficult question, complicated answer. My opinion is that this is an authentic Eigentum helmet for South West Africa. Either for a high-ranking official with the rank of diplomat. I simply think that the cap has been re-sewn, as the hand stitching is not of the quality required for such...

That's right, no problem. But be careful with the chin strap; it's best to put it back in "standby" position on the visor, using the small button and its lock slot, because when the leather is dry, the position shown in the photo tends to break after the 4th scallop.

Hello Andy, That's exactly the mistake. Never settle for a quick glance, but make sure you examine everything meticulously!!! Because the thing about fakes is that they look just like the real thing. Above all, focus on the insignia that determine the price of these prestigious helmets: the TK...

The TK design is not compliant.

A simple enlargement of the obverse reveals obvious modern electroplating! (cast metal, electroplated, characteristic small spheres, blurred details, etc.) As for the reverse, the thickness of the metal and the absence of details identical to the obverse clearly demonstrate that it is a...

https://www.seitengewehr.de/krpreussen.html https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich_Preu%C3%9Fische_Landgendarmerie Perhaps Kukri can tell us more. As far as I'm concerned, I only see photos with Landgendarmen in horizontal facing. Exceptions are rare, like this one. As early as 1870...

I hasten to show you my "rare bird"... Several decades ago, I acquired a "Kammer" helmet from the JR92. Well-marked, with its beautiful Totenkopf (death's head), but with a "Koenig" eagle... This seemed obviously period-correct to me, as the helmet had just come out of an attic, with its...

I don't know how things work in Germany, but in France, over time, we've noticed that objects stored in the reserves are no longer there 20 years later... without any trace in the accounts... But since these objects don't belong to the curator or the management committee... the loss isn't...

Yes, to avoid discoloring the gilding, I heat it with an electric heat gun, never with a butane "lampagaz" blowtorch.

Hello Pppara, ;) Wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing. I also like Mecklenburg.

It is unfortunate that there is no date on this photo, because: ---The IR 70 was stationed in Sarrelouis from 1862 to 1876, during the Battle of Sadowa and then during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. -- -The IR30 took over this barracks in Sarrelouis from 1876 until the armistice of 1918...

Too good, Rheiny !!! 👌💪

A little bit, but mainly it prevents you from attaching this eagle to a helmet!

I agree with Sandy. We absolutely must remove this modern central screw. To do so, heat the FWR part on the front side while pulling on the nut with pliers. As soon as the tin stuck to the brass melts, all the tin will come off with the screw. Once this is done, immediately place the plate on a...
